This is still unsolved ... > What's even more interesting, the du (Filesys::DiskUsage) says the > directory has a local size of 69539 Bytes which, divided by 1024, > results to 67.9091... . ... but I found the solution for this one: There is an option for the Filesys::DiskUsage to round up the file sizes to the next block, which is DISABLED by default - that's why I got different file sizes. Unfortunately, this does not explain the difference between the local du and the one via rexec on a remote machine. Any help appreciated.
