I am migrating files using rsync from an old CentOS 4.8 (I think uses EXT3) to FreeNAS 9.1.5 box. I run rsync in "pull mode" on FreeNAS box and rsync server on CentOS 4.8. I noticed significant differences in the file sizes (FreeNAS being much smaller) when I run command. Since I knew I had a lots of sparse files I used special option in rsync to transfer those. I am sure there was lots of fragmentation on the old CentOS server and lots of garbage dotfiles created by programs which I didn't transfer but that still doesn't explain such a huge difference.
Are data sets compressed on FreeNAS using lzma compression? Is that why I see such smaller files running on FreeNAS? Essentially I moved 1.5 TB of data to little over 1TB of space.
