[gpfsug-discuss] du --apparent-size and quota

[Dugan, Michael J]

Do you have sparse files on the first filesystem? Since the second filesystem
has a larger blocksize than the first one, the copied file may not be sparse on the
second filesystem. I think gpfs only supports holes that line up will a full filesystem
block.

Yes, of course I have been using -delete (and -delete-excluded) ;-)
