[Trackback URL for this entry] 2008-02-28T00:38:30 ZFS compression surprise:

 

 

server1% wc *
...
   8484374   56684310 2050292731 total

server1% du .
2007440	.

server1% du -h .
2.0G	.

I rsynced that dir to another server and did a quick check to make sure I had all the data:

server2% wc *
...
   8484374   56684310 2050292731 total

server2% du .
660872	.

server2% du -h .
646M	.

It took a quite bunch of digging and checking before I remembered server2 has a ZFS disk with compression turned on.
