How are you measuring that? If you use "du" on individual directory hierarchies, it will always report the full size of all the files contained therein. It is only when you du the parent directory of the hierarchies that du will elide any files that were mentioned in prior dirs. For instance: % cp -al one two % du one two 9.6M one 9.6M two % du . 9.6M ./one 0 ./two 9.6M ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
