HI all,
It seems that is a very simple question but it really causing a lot of trouble to explain this to my management.
We have a task to copy the directory from server 1 to server 2 said the folder is /abc
/something/something/backup1: <- server1
total 117763
drwxrwx--- 3 vip app 14 Oct 9 11:05 .
drwxrwx--- 6 vip app 6 Oct 8 23:52 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 vip app 38594 Oct 7 23:48 ddd.sss.gz

========================
/something/something/backup1: <- server2
total 117761
drwxrwx--- 3 vip app 14 Oct 9 11:05 .
drwxrwx--- 6 vip app 6 Oct 8 23:52 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 vip app 38594 Oct 7 23:48 ddd.sss.gz

as you can see , the ls -l output of 2 servers are the same except the " total"
server 1 is 117763 and server 2 is 117761.
Although there is only a small different, but it still a different, I have verified all the cksum of the file, file in the sub folder, all the same.
actually how does this "total" in ls -l is computed? any idea why is it different although all the file I copied is the same.
