Cloned Drive Different From Source
by ericlindellnyc from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6E4D7)
Using a Wavlink dual bay drive dock, I cloned an 8 TB HDD offline.
The result shows the drives have identical capacity -- to the byte.
But -- the Source has less used space.
It has more total files.
Please see attached data.
The first drive listed is SOURCE .. nu8tb.
Any idea how to account for the differences?
I'd like to know if my data is fully backed up. Going by the numbers, it isnt.
Unless I'm missing something about purgeable data.
Thanks in advance for any insights.
ps sorry for crappy photo .. will redo tomorrow. nitie nite.
