Dear All
In hde2 I have a subset of the set of files in hdb6. However, quite surprisingly, the used size in hde2 is greater than the used size in hdb6:
/dev/hdb6 71630968 50686876 20944092 71% /mnt/mandriva /dev/hde2 74770560 55040436 15931960 78% /mnt/montado
How can it be?!
Thanks in advance,
Paul

You can use the du -h on hde2 root, and the same in the directory of hdb6 wich is copied to hde2, maybe it is related to the cylinders size?

Thanks, Guillermo. I erased the contents of hde2 and used cp instead of mc to copy from hdb6, and the reported problem did not occur. I guess that mc may put some temporary files in the destination where it is copying.
