Hi all,
I made a copy of a folder from a WINXP SP2 to a Linux workstation shared
folder. After the copy and from the WINXP SP2 workstation, i look the
properties of the remote folder (the copied folder on the Linux
workstation) and of the local folder (the original folder on the WINXP
workstation)
For the remote folder, I have :
- 29764 files
- 2427 folders
- Size : 6868067,965 bytes
- Size on disk : 6884156,416 bytes
and for the local folder, I have :
- 29764 files
- 2427 folders
- Size : 6865812,159 bytes
- Size on disk : 6938199,838 bytes
I think that the differences on the 'Size on disk' properties comes from
the files fragmentation on the disks
But I don't understand why the 'Size' properties are not the same.
Can anybody explain it to me ?
Thank you for your answer,
Jean LEE
