perhaps this is the problem:
"Also, du can only be used to estimate space consumption for directories and files for which the user has reading
permission. Thus, an ordinary user would generally not be able to use du to determine space consumption for files or directories belonging to other users, including those belonging to the
root account (i.e., the system administrator). However, as du is used mainly by system administrators, this is usually not a problem. "

Dear Experts,
I would like to know what's the best method for copy data around 3 mio (spread in a hundred folders, size each file around 1kb) between 2 servers?
I already tried using Rsync and tar command. But using these command is too long.
Please advice.
Thanks
