Am rsyncing from /data/mirror (a raid0 mount) to /dev/sda1 (a usb HD). Both filesystems formatted as ext3 but mounted as ext4. /mnt filesystem is only being added to and currently large files (iso files 700MB-4.4GB) are being copied. When I remounted /mnt as ext3 I could not duplicate the issue and the amount of disk used stabilised at 182G. The df results, whilst /mnt is mounted as ext4, are below: 1 [29/03 15:05:58] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 317G 555G 37% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:11:05] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 224G 647G 26% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:41:38] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 670G 201G 77% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:32] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 246G 626G 29% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:36] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 313G 559G 36% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:37] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 396G 475G 46% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:37] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 615G 256G 71% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:39] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 671G 201G 77% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:40] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 671G 201G 77% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:40] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 215G 656G 25% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:41] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 334G 538G 39% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:42] >> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md5 1.3T 1.2T 113G 92% /data/mirror /dev/sda1 917G 522G 349G 60% /mnt 1 [29/03 15:48:43] >> -- "A search of his car uncovered pornography, a homemade sex aid, women's stockings and a Jack Russell terrier." - http://www.news.com.au/story/0%2C27574%2C24675808-421%2C00.html
