Hi all, I posed the below yesterday but have new info.

Only across NFS does a 2.5MB file show as 64MB.

When locally on the NFS server itself, the file still shows as 2.5MB.

Any nuggets?

Hi all,

I never really paid attention to this but a file on an NFS mount is showing 64M in size, but when copying the file to a local drive, it shows 2.5MB in size.

My NFS server is hardware Raided with a volume stripe size of 128K were the volume size is 20TB.

My NFS clients are the same distro as the server being Centos.

Is this due to my stripe size?

Nuggets are appreciated.
