Hmmm, just jumping in here - I figured the problem is more to do with hardlnks in the path... I've seen a similar issue in the past with Finder filesize calculations where the total size of a directory which contains hardlinks may exceed the total capacity of the volume (imagine a 1GB volume, with a single 500MB file hardlinked 4 times - perfectly legal, but confusing to Finder IIRC). It's been a few years though, so I could be fuzzy on this, but we were using rsync and hardlinks to create incremental snapshots of a filesystem on our nearline storage array, and Mac OSX Finder - no surprise - wasn't quite sure how to deal with hardlinks.
Or did I miss the point? Perfectly likely... _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
