   Different directory file sums

   Speaking of backups using rsync, I just did one and as usual I checked   
   the file sums to validate the results. In dolphin 'properties' I ended   
   up with ONE folder showing a discrepancy i.e. correct number of files   
   but total size being different.   
      
   source 6.1 GiB (6,595,100,080)   
   target 6.1 GiB (6,595,108,272)   
      
   The other dozen or so folders were all exact matches.   
      
   Doing   
   # perl -le 'map { $sum += -s } @ARGV; print $sum' -- *   
      
   produced 6552446982 for both so sigh of relief.   
      
   I understand that disk usage is not the same as sum of file sizes but   
   WHY is du being used in dolphin properties dolphin being a FILE mangler?   
   If I want disk usage I might just click kdf instead.
