This is kind of a 2-part question:
1. I just purchased Unraid and I'm transferring all of my data from Freenas. The issue I'm seeing is that files are reporting larger on Unraid. In some cases almost twice the size but the MD5 matches on both. Has anyone else experienced this?
Freenas:
Size: 4.7GB
Size on disk: 4.6GB
Unraid:
Size: 4.7GB
Size on disk: 8.6GB
^this is the most extreme case I have seen. Others report very close but still off on the bytes impacting issue #2 below.
2. I had previously copied about 75% of my data during the Unraid trial ~6months ago. I am now using rsync to copy the remaining data, however, it wants to copy every file since the size on disk does not match 100%. Is there an easy was to copy the data skipping existing files given size differences? The only option I can think of is running rsync with -c to compare checksums, but that may take forever. I may be better off wiping Unraid and starting over with a fresh one-time copy. Any ideas on how to overcome this one?
Thanks in advance!
