That will work, but --progress seems to be pointles
Thanks Matt. I suppose I could use rsync to know how big a directory
is then...right?
rsync --progress -avzL -n /source /foo
That should give me the total number of bytes to transfer

Rsync and "find -printf" both use stat(2).

Thanks.
Does rsync use stat()? does find use stat() when running with printf?
I think the stat() is the most expensive part.

"find -printf" will give you the sizes of the directories (as lists of
entries) themselves. If you
Great. Thanks matt. I was using the find method, but I want to find a
better way to get my directory sizes. I suppose a find -printf may
work.
If anyone else has suggestions please let me know.
