After a lot of analysis, I found that all user folders (and all other

for one - my boss's 😉 . After more analysis, I found that it was his
Maildir (using dovecot) that was weird:
 - Old machine: 49 GB
 - New machine: 188 GB
Jan Stary solved it by asking "Have you tried -H to preserve
hardlinks?". And no, I hadn't. Wasn't expecting any in a Maildir. I've
learned something ;) - wahay!
New machine is now 49 GB too. And I've tweaked my rsync script to no
longer use "-avz --delete", but "-avSH --delete".
Thanks, Jan!
