Ok, I've tried this and the following is the result:
[root at server data01]# for i in * ; do du -sk "$i"
"/data02/$i" ; done |more
4 lost+found
12 /data02/lost+found
79596252 Software
123557857 /data02/Software
Which seems to again confirm that the directories are
exact copies of one another (which is what rsync is
meant to do), but again with much different sizes.
