Hi list,
Maybe someone can help me with this, I have two strange directory size
calculating issues: I do a
my ( $rc2, $backupsizetrans ) =
rexec(
$backuphost,
'du -k '
. "$backupdir\/$backdir2"
. ' |tail -1 |awk \'{ print $1 }\''
);
to get the size of a certain directory from another machine. In my test
case, this results to 72KB.
But if I check manually on the host via a local
oracle:/backup>du -k MVSTADB_9.9.99.99_100504-112005
I get 68 KB size as a result.
What's even more interesting, the du (Filesys::DiskUsage) says the
directory has a local size of 69539 Bytes which, divided by 1024,
results to 67.9091... .
So I guess this all is some rounding issue!? If so, I would appreciate
any hints how to best compare the sizes of two directories - one on the
local machine, the other one via rexec - as exact as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Nora
