I am using Ubuntu 14.04.
When copying a big folder with lots of files and sub folders from my NTFS U disk to my hard drive, the progress bar indicates that copy is finished. But the destination folder size is much smaller than expected.
I turn to use command line, the result is the same.
Any one knows what's wrong with this fake copy success?
1Please provide an example with
ls -al
outputs of both directories. – Daniel B – 2015-09-08T05:24:12.593@DanielB I tried
ls -al
on the 2 folders. Source folder showstotal 216
, destination folder showstotal 184
. How could it be different? – smwikipedia – 2015-09-08T05:41:40.810That’s what you were asking in the first place. Now please provide the full output of both commands, by editing your question. – Daniel B – 2015-09-08T05:52:24.510
That would be too many files... For now, I will try to zip the folder and then copy it as a single file. This is just a workaround. – smwikipedia – 2015-09-08T06:31:52.353
So make a minimal example. – Daniel B – 2015-09-08T09:08:01.663
@DanielB Small files seems ok so far. But let me try. – smwikipedia – 2015-09-08T13:39:29.090
