Hi,
I am planning to upgrade my Hardware (Case and Mobo).
I have posted a question in regards to the HW upgrade in this forum, and the conclusion was, that it will be an easy swap without new configuration and setup of FreeNAS.
However, before I start, I want to make sure, that I have a backup JUST IN CASE.
So I connected an external HDD (2TB) to freenas and formated it as UFS2. Than I used a simple 'cp -iprv dir1 dir2' to copy the files. All worked nicely, however, FreeNAS tells me, that the source folder (dataset in this case) is ~28GB (with gzip and 1.58% compression) but once the copy finished, the size on destination disk was 119GB. I have anticipated 45GB but not 119GB.
What am I missing and how can I tell what the actual size the data will be, once it is on the destination drive.
Thanks.
