Hello
I was copying some files from one server to other, that I relized the total file size ( sum of all files ) in one server is a bit more than the one that copied from ( about 6 when I do du -s )
No one has yet to say this straight out. "du -s" does _not_ show the sum of filesizes. As the name implies (DiskUsage) shows the amount of disk space needed to store the file (which is typically the filesize + some small amount).
