Ok, I've tried this and the following is the result: [root@server data01]# for i in * ; do du -sk "$i" "/data02/$i" ; done |more 4 lost+found 12 /data02/lost+found 79596252 Software 123557857 /data02/Software Which seems to again confirm that the directories are exact copies of one another (which is what rsync is meant to do), but again with much different sizes.
