I just copied an NTFs partition from a debian machine (kernel 2.2.10)
to a suse 6.3 machine (2.2.10-smp) using dd over ssh. The md5sums of
both partitions on the different machines are identical.
sudo dd if=/dev/sdb10 bs=1024 count=1024 | md5sum
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
45063a1a9db2130ddbf6c2119bccc048 -
sudo ssh lm004 "dd if=/dev/hdb1 bs=1024 count=1024 | md5sum"
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
45063a1a9db2130ddbf6c2119bccc048
Nevertheless, the outputs from du are distinct. I think the fileutils
4.0 one is incorrect, and the fileutils 3.16 one is correct:
karajan:/usr/oboe/ptb% du --version
du (GNU fileutils) 3.16
sudo sh -c "cd /client-nt; du"
...
248 ./WINNT/Profiles/Default User/Personal

5577 ./WINNT/Profiles/Default User
15312 ./WINNT/Profiles
162011 ./WINNT
194934 .
lm004:/mnt# du --version
du (GNU fileutils) 4.0
lm004:/mnt# du
