i mounted an SMB-share (sudo mount -t cifs //<ip-adress>/share/ /local_directory/) and as i execute "du -sh ./*" in the share it shows 160 GB of used space instead of 85 GB.. . how come ? However, the Frontview-Interface (http://<ip-adress>/admin/) shows correctly that about 90 GB of the NAS-drive is used. how do i get the correct filesize using the "du-diskusage"-program on the share ? (it's actually an directory structure rather than a file) I did not verify wether the files are corrupted, because i do not know how to do so. Single testfiles at the size of 2.7 GB are shown correctly by "du -sh ./*", after beeing transferred.
I don't know, the directory structure is to vast. I don't think there are hidden files. I would wonder where the hidden files would have come from. No dot-files (hidden files) should be there Besides Frontview is showing the correct size...
I used a downloaded Ubuntu-Repository which i downloaded using apt-mirror (DL-directory :/var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror/) and i don't think there are hidden files in the Repository
Could the different blocksize of the NAS and the Computer be the reason ? it has been written by others that the NAS has a filesystem using a blocksize of 16K. My Computer however has a blocksize of 4K.
Let me also write about my Problem i had trying to copy 85GB of Data using the "smbclient" (smbclient -U <user-account> //<ip-Adress>/<share>/)
i used a switch and ran into problems. It seemed that the smbclient would not operate correctly on that amount of Data. eventhough its faster than a "mount -t cifs".
Now i am connected using a HUB, which gives more reliability, as it seems to me. using the smbclient in conjunction with a switch gave me trouble login in.
