Hi if you want to preserve hard link between transer with rsync use rsync -Havz the first -H does the trick (man rsync). If you want to count the space not counting twice the same hard link a 'du -chs' will do the job: for example if you have two directory '1' and '2' and '2' is full of hard link pointing to '1' 's files, with every file of '2/' being an hard link pointing to the same file in '1/' if you do a $du -chs 1/ 2/ you will count the hard link once if you do $du -chs 1/ $du -chs 2/ you will count the hard link twice I never heard of lack of precision of 'du' Bye Valerio Daelli
