I have a folder called
/test located on server_old. I am moving the entire folder (and sub folders) to my PC. When I do this, I get a size discrepancy and I don't understand why.
Here is the folder I want:
Code:
server_old:/# du -h test/
4.6G test/
Now I run the following command:
Code:
scp -r /test/ carlwill@my_pc:~/Desktop
Now this looks normal and everything copies over to my pc and then when I check the size of
/test on my pc, the size is larger and I don't understand why.
Code:
carlwill@my_pc:~/Desktop$ du -h test/
5.3G test/
Anyone know what I am doing wrong or not taking into consideration.
