I have a SMB share for Apple's time machine that I want to move to another drive. I tried to do rsync -arHAX but the destination size blows up and becomes larger than the size of the destination disk.
I don't understand what is causing the size increase. -H should handle hard links. The directory is on a btrfs partition but I'm pretty sure the CoW is not the problem there.
This question has been posted before elsewhere but the recommendation is always to use MacOS Finder, which I cannot do in my case. I have a hard time believing that moving files cannot be done in any other way.
