Dear Sir, A strange issue happens when I use the cp tool on two directory.
1 I have an empty directiry owen@linux-b2-ali:~/work/ALi_SDK/DailyBuild/linux_20120911$ ls images/fs.install/ -a . .. 2 Then I cp an directory in this directory with -rf owen@linux-b2-ali:~/work/ALi_SDK/DailyBuild/linux_20120911$ cp extern/fs_install/* images/fs.install/ -rf We can find the file busybox size is 998K now. owen@linux-b2-ali:~/work/ALi_SDK/DailyBuild/linux_20120911$ ls images/fs.install/bin/busybox -lh -rwxr-xr-x 1 owen owen 988K 2012-09-11 21:37 images/fs.install/bin/busybox 3 In another directory, we have a same file with the same size owen@linux-b2-ali:~/work/ALi_SDK/DailyBuild/linux_20120911$ ls extern/fs.install/bin/busybox -lh -rwxr-xr-x 1 owen owen 988K 2012-09-11 15:02 extern/fs.install/bin/busybox 4 Copy the content of the extern/fs.install/bin/busybox to images/fs.install owen@linux-b2-ali:~/work/ALi_SDK/DailyBuild/linux_20120911$ cp extern/fs.install/* images/fs.install/ -rf 5 Check the size of busybox owen@linux-b2-ali:~/work/ALi_SDK/DailyBuild/linux_20120911$ ls images/fs.install/bin/busybox -lh -rwxr-xr-x 1 owen owen 526K 2012-09-11 21:39 images/fs.install/bin/busybox Anything I missed when I copy ? The size is changed dramatically. Best Regards Yours (Owen) ************************************************ * 8652 * * 18928021899 * * Just do it! * ************************************************
