Hi,

I am at my wits end with this, so I thought I would post here to see if anyone 
had any thoughts. The only connection with F21 (updated in all installed 
components) is that everything is on a F21 machine.

So, I have a cifs share mounted onto /mnt/space using the usual mount.cifs 
option with sec=ntlmv2.

I wanted to copy the following directory (kmeans) onto /mnt/space -- because I 
wanted to preserve permissions and structure, I tried rsync:


rsync -avSz --delete --progress kmeans/. /mnt/space/kmnsinit 

So here is the problem:

The original directory has size:

% du -sh kmeans
156G    kmeans

But the copying has continued on and on with no sign of ending (and we are at 
378GB).

% du -sh kmnsinit
378G kmnsinit

I also tried without the . after the kmeans/ in the rsync command (though not 
sure why it would matter) but to no avail. (Same story, and note that it is not 
ending at 378G but going on, and chances are will go on for some more.)

Is it possible that since all things Windoze are bad, the cifs puts stuff all 
over the place and represents large files differently. Is it possible to 
however make it behave? 

Does anyone have an explanation and solution for the above? I apologize again 
for the largely OT nature of this post.

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
