    Hi all,

    I do a

    #vdump -0f - -D /dir | vrestore -xf - -D /user_4/dir

    /user_4 nfs mounted.

    The result is that on the target disk more blocks are allocated
    then in the original directory tree (I could understand this in
    VMS if the target disk would be much larger i.e. has a greater
    cluster factor, but here I copy the tree from a 4GB disk to a 2GB
    disk)

    #du /user_4/dir e.g. several directory trees

       Source Ziel
    1. 560726 578454
    2. 1024418 1058130
    3. 15844 17012

    What is the reason for that? (Of course it is always better to
    have more instead of less blocks in the target tree...)

    Regards

    Otto
