I copied a bunch of stuff with rsync from a Linux system to a BSD system. I'm fairly sure it worked fine, but as a check, I'd like to compare the total number of bytes in files on both systems.du -sk <dir> produces slightly different results on both systems (smaller on dest)
I also tried out
find <dir> -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat --format=%s | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'
on Linux and
find rsync -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat -f %Dz | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'
on BSD. I think they're equivalent, but maybe not. At any rate, this also produced differing results for each system, with the destination having the smaller numbers. Not a huge difference, but it leaves me wondering what might be missing.
Any ideas?
