Strange disk usage discrepancy between 2 servers
by jong105 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5HM0W)
Hi,
I'm copying some files (using rsync/ssh) between 2 servers. The source is a Debian machine using ZFS, and the destination is Fedora on XFS.
When I run du -h -d 0 . on the source directory, I get '124G'. When I run the same command on the destination, I get '175G'... and it's still copying!
Compression is enabled on the ZFS dataset, but I don't believe that should make a difference to the output of 'du'. I really don't understand what's going on here.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:
Just a couple of minutes after I posted this, the rsync finished, with the destination directory showing usage of 176G. I'm still not seeing any obvious relationship between those vastly different numbers.
