[QUOTE="slapple, post: 1360748, member: 234578"] So the "du" for your "cp -rp" reported the same for both dirs, even though one dir has a lot more stuff than the other dir. That seems to be the opposite of what I saw, where the du was different for 2 dirs, even though both dirs are the same. But I think we are in agreement that Finder and du are not consistently reporting directory sizes correctly? Seems like a bug in Mac OS X. [/QUOTE]
