2-The whole point of the copy was to see if using EXT3 instead of EXT4 would make the problem go away (3+ minutes boot delays)[1]. Initial indication is it did indeed solve the problem, but with identical size target filesystem short of source by 10%, I have to wonder about other consequences of the rsync.

Have you done a quick compare of an ls -lR of each filesystem to see if they have the same contents?
Hadn't thought about it. Thx. :-)
There's no particular reason why two different filesystem types should take the same amount of space to store the same information, even if their names are quite similar :)
I tried same source, using 42.1 instead of 13.1, to two different targets thus: rsync -rlptgoDAHX --exclude='lost+found' /disks/stw/ /mnt First try, when done (including fstab backup to backup.07, then edit): Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda19 5655815 2934661 2430301 55% / /dev/sda23 5655815 4126642 1238319 77% /disks/stw EXT4 TW source /dev/sda29 5655815 4165031 1204026 78% /mnt EXT3 target # ls -lR /disks/stw | wc -l 199013 # ls -lR /mnt | wc -l 199014 Second try, before starting: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda19 5655815 2934662 2430300 55% / /dev/sda23 5655815 4126642 1238319 77% /disks/stw EXT4 TW source /dev/sda30 5655815 3598 5361363 1% /mnt EXT4 target Second try, when done (including fstab backup to backup.07, then edit): Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda19 5655815 2934663 2430299 55% / /dev/sda23 5655815 4126642 1238319 77% /disks/stw EXT4 TW source /dev/sda30 5655815 4126449 1238512 77% /mnt EXT4 target # ls -lR /mnt | wc -l 199014 Both sda29 and sda30 are bootable as necessarily modified, so I guess it's not broken. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
