Couple of scenarios to rule out:
1) going from
disk1 a -> 500G file b->empty
to
disk2 a=>empty b->500G file
---- --delete = --delete-during which means it won't try to delete a later encountered directory until it gets to copying 'b'. If your disk is 750G, your copy will die in the middle of copying "a".
Maybe delete-before would be better, though theoretically less safe, in that you might be deleting 500G before the copy on disk1 has safely made it to disk2. But if you are tight on disk space....
Given the result observed on running it a 2nd time, I believe the above describes close enough what happened, and I should have used delete-before.
2) If your target disk is more fragmented, then it will need more free-space extents(clusters) -- rather than 1 range with 2G, it might need 20 ranges with 100MB each.
That means disk 2 will need more "indirect" space to hold the extra ranges.
Likely this is happening too, but not the primary problem here. Carlos: not btrfs. MC would explain differences, but not necessarily the rsync behavior absent understanding what Linda explained. Michael: no idea why you brought up sparse. The filesystem's sparse files are mostly small. The largest mass of files by number and size are compressed. AFAICT, sparse is about transfer speed, not ultimate space consumption. Andrey: probably only one 1k hard linked file on that filesystem. Nearly nil soft links too. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Linda, I just send it with the To: blank and with opensuse in the CC line. I've never had a complaint and I don't have to retype anything. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Out of curiosity, what is the openSuSE list for? From what I've noticed, it's primarily for folks with a common passion from all over the world to learn, ask questions, troubleshoot, and sometimes just be stupid and joke around with each other. To that end - I guess I'm curious why lately it seems like folks on the list are so tied to "the rules," to the extent that it seems like every time I turn around anymore, someone else is getting reprimanded (or, in the case of Bill Creswel a couple weeks ago, basically ridiculed) for some minor offense like typing in the wrong part of the email, replying without removing the sender, replying without removing the list address, or whatever. I mean, it would be one thing if someone was trash talking. But the things people get called out for seems so...trivial. My big question is - in reality, what's the big deal? Every list I'm on has "rules," but this is literally the only one where people are quick to point out each other's violations. Can't we all just chill and get along? :/ Not trying to be, well, whatever. Just sayin'. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not that it necessarily the case with any individual here, (but not saying it isn't), there is a tendency to want to say "something" even when one doesn't know the answer to a question. Slamming someone for not following your idea of the "one, right, true way" gives them an opportunity to say something. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Au contraire. It takes no deliberation or effort to violate an unnatural and perverse policy that goes against the laws of nature, er, I mean the RFC's.. yeah!... there is only the one right true way!!! It has been attempts to please different people with their specific 'perversions' (of the natural law, of course; :-)), that has me running into problems that gave rise to this inane and OT issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is very simple, really. You can, for instance, upgrade your Thunderbird, as current versions (since years ago) display the button [Reply to List]. Or simply reply to All, and delete the direct address. leaving the list address as it is, even if it is a "Cc:". In Thunderbird you can also change the "Cc:" to a "To:" without altering the address field. No need to type any address whatsoever. I don't. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
