let me further explain with a example.
Suppose you have a file that is 1024 bytes on linux and you do a ls it will list as 2 block (2 512 byte blocks).
OK... but here the error would be at most a few KB, not an additional 1,130MB.
You copy this file to a vfat partition to be shared with windows and the allocation units is 5 512 blocks. Now when you do the listing linux list it as 1024 bytes and windows will list it 2560 bytes.
I understand your concept; but these files have only been copied once, from disk /dev/hdg on the Linux server (using ext3) to disk /dev/hdh ON THE SAME SERVER, also using ext3. No copying to Windows has occurred... all I've done is to allow Windows machines to read them via Samba.
