[QUOTE="slapple, post: 1360723, member: 234578"] But since I duplicated it, wouldn't the duplicate have the same sparse files, directory restructuring, etc.? So the du for both the original and duplicate should be exactly the same. But here's another example - I did a du on the GarageBand.app and the duplicate I made. The difference for those is significant - du says the duplicate is almost 2x as large as the original: [code] du -k /Applications/GarageBand.app/ 212868 /Applications/GarageBand.app/ du -k /Applications/GarageBand\ copy.app/ 397880 /Applications/GarageBand copy.app/ [/code] [/QUOTE]
