I have dumped a mysql data file, and scp it to another host. The current host is ubuntu-8.04, the remote host is ubuntu-9.10. As you can see below: The current host: $ md5sum fcm.0812.sql.gz ea08ec505c1b1724213538fed7483975 fcm.0812.sql.gz $ lsb_release -r Release: 8.04 $ du -k fcm.0812.sql.gz 418080 fcm.0812.sql.gz The remote host: $ md5sum fcm.0812.sql.gz ea08ec505c1b1724213538fed7483975 fcm.0812.sql.gz $ lsb_release -r Release: 9.10 $ du -k fcm.0812.sql.gz 417672 fcm.0812.sql.gz Though the files in two hosts have the same md5sum, but why they have different size with 'du -k' showed?
