I have two identical disks /dev/sdb1 == source
/dev/sdc1 == dest
When I rsync the source -> dest
rsync -a /tree2/ /tree2m
the destination size id considerably larger.
/dev/sdb1 17654736 6513064 10244848 39% /tree2
/dev/sdc1 17654736 7691192 9066720 46% /tree2m
When I look down into the directories I find the following
/tree2 ... SOURCE
[root]# du -sk *
4 marina
8 marshall
4 mcbaran
4 miller
8 mkim
8 monleon
8 mordes
[root]# ls -la marshall/
total 16

/tree2m ... DEST

Why is there a difference in the size of the directories for marshall(and
many others) which makes the distination larger than the source?

Try running rsync with the -H (--hard-link) option. ..wayne..
Wayne ... thanks, --hard-links makes things right.
