           Summary: rsync uses more space in destination even with -S
                    specified
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.6
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: rlx_01 at yahoo.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


When rsyncing a large amount of data (about 200GB) the destination takes up
much more space (about an additional 40GB).  When -S is specified it takes less
but still moe than the source.  Looking at the file sizes, they seem the same. 
The difference is in the amount being reported used by df and ls.  When using
cp -a the space used is identical.
