Operating Systems Solaris File copy issue in Solaris Post 302957664 by Don Cragun on Tuesday 13th of October 2015 11:14:13 PM

How did you determine that the size of the copy was zero?

On a ZFS filesystem, copying file1 to file2 might share disk block allocations between the two files until some bytes in one of the files is overwritten. In that case a du -s file1 file2 might show 0 blocks allocated to file2 while du -s file2 file1 might show 0 blocks allocated to file1, and du -s file1 followed by du -s file2 (in separate invocations of du) would show the same (non-0) size for both files.

xzdiff

XZDIFF(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZDIFF(1)

NAME

       xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files

SYNOPSIS

       xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
       xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
       lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
       lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]

DESCRIPTION

       xzcmp  and  xdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1).  All options specified are passed
       directly to cmp or diff.  If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of	a  supported  com-
       pression  format)  and  file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped.  If two files are specified, then they are uncom-
       pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1).  The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved.

       The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

SEE ALSO

       cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1)

BUGS

       Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
