I'm using rsync -aHS to backup some stuff (mostly jpgs and docs from my home) to an external usb hard drive (same ext3 fs). After a backup I ran du -s to get a fast check on size and found source and target to be slightly different. Even using du -cb or du-cbk size doesn't match. So what's wrong?!
I've noticed some dir size doesn't match: l...@zazzero:~$ ls -ld /media/toshiba-docs/foto/d50/ drwxr-xr-x 43 leo leo 4096 6 gen 11:17 /media/toshiba-docs/foto/d50/ l...@zazzero:~$ ls -ld /share/foto/d50/ drwxr-xr-x 43 leo leo 69632 6 gen 11:17 /share/foto/d50/ I'd like the size of the backup to be exactly the same and check sync result with du. BTW, is there some better fast check I could do to test rsync behavior? Thanks! -- Leonardo Canducci -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
