Clone larger than source, after erase/copy.

[mikebore]

MacBook Pro, 10.6, SD 2.6.1

Source Volume is a Utilities partition in the MBP, sized 21.47 Gb of which 6.23 Gb is used.

I used Superduper! to make a clone to a FW external partition sized 21.89 Gb, using the erase and copy option. On completion the amount used on the copy is 9.73 Gb.

First thought was connected to sleepimages, but thats the wrong way round, and there is no sleepimage on the copy.

Any thoughts?

Please send in your logs using the "Send to shirt pocket" button, Mike. Could be Spotlight or many other things.

Hello Dave,

I have run Superduper! again since the one I posted about and the log only shows the latest. Will it be somewhere else?

I can do it again to generate a log if necessary.

[dnanian]

No, just use the send to shirt pocket button and the last 10 logs will be sent.

Ah! I have already sent the log to you under case number 101098...which was a different problem, which happened just after the copy which started this thread.

[dnanian]

Didn't know that was you.

It's not entirely clear what the additional data is. The right amount of data is copied (about 5.3GB). The volume ends up larger because of Spotlight and prebinding, I think.
