what besides broken rsync could be responsible for source used being so much less than target used?
sparse files? Check with "du -shxc ..." vs. "du --app -shxc ...".
I don't remember what rsync's defaults are but are delinked hard links another possibility?
Good point. Therefore maybe 'rsync -SHAXaxi ' would be better in the OPs use case.
Very interesting. Looks like H was a missing key ingredient, but using Bernhard's option set inverted the differential: I tried once again booted to 42.1: Before: # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda19 5655815 2928686 2436276 55% / (42.1 on ext4) /dev/sda10 5655815 4759270 605692 89% /disks/s133 (TW on ext4) /dev/sda30 5655815 3727 5365330 1% /mnt # rsync -SHAXaxi --stats --progress --exclude 'lost+found' /disks/s133/ . # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda19 5655815 2928686 2436276 55% / (42.1 on ext4) /dev/sda10 5655815 4759270 605692 89% /disks/s133 (TW on ext4) /dev/sda30 5655815 4231922 1137135 79% /mnt This looks like getting less than the whole source copied. :-p Hard links are definitely part of the source, glibc-locale if not more.
