Hello: Shortly: I have to identical partitions I formatted with the same tool. I copied everything from one partition to the other still the file system usage is different. Why? Longer version: I have two extended partitions on the same hard disks. They have identical sizes and block numbers. fdisk report is: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc7 399155791 457744782 29294496 83 Linux /dev/sdc8 457744846 516333837 29294496 83 Linux I formatted both partitions as ext4 using Leap 42.2 yast2 partition tool with its default options. I installed Leap 42.2 onto partition 7. Partition 6 also has Leap 42.2 installed earlier. I booted part6 Leap 42.2, mounted partitions 7 and 8 (as /mnt1 and /mnt2) and rsynced everything from partition 7 to 8: rsync -a /mnt1/ /mnt2 Interestingly the file systems usage is not the same for the two partitions (part7 is mnt1, part8 is mnt2): df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdc7 28G 6.1G 21G 24% /mnt1 /dev/sdc8 28G 6.7G 20G 26% /mnt2 Why is this difference?
