Re: [CentOS] accurate file size

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 )

That's not unusual. It's often the case that some partial blocks (e.g block 4096, 1K used) exist on the source. Sometimes these are consolidated to make more "full" blocks ase they are copied to someplace else.

individual file sizes are identical, when I do one by one file comparison, but the sum is different.

is there any more accurate way to make sure of integrity of the file. ( other than pgp or signature )

md5sum?

Thanks
