Over time as files are deleted directories get more and more deleted entries which are essentially holes in the directory file. NDMPCOPY or even extracting a tar archive will compress the directory files by deleting the unused dirents.

Hi,

I just performed a ndmpcopy on my filer. I ran an ls -lR on the original location and on the new location. The files and sizes were identical, the directory sizes differed. Anyone have any ideas why?

Thanks

Manny
