Operating Systems Solaris File copy issue in Solaris Post 302957771 by sembii on Thursday 15th of October 2015 01:51:15 AM

Hi Don Cragun,

Yeah, read your post, sorry for not enough details. Here are some details.
1. Source file size is 10mb. Actually there are many files with the size greater than 10GB. But I chose 10mb sized one file as test.
2. I'm using cp and scp both.
scp -C source_file oracle@remote_host:/path/to/dir
cp source_file /path/to/destination
3. I used du -sh command to see file size. ls -l command shows the size same as source file. But du -sh command shows different size. I think that ls -l command is showing only file size info in the header and du -sh command is showing size on the disk.
4. Yes, source and destination filesystem are same. I'm using Solaris ZFS filesystem
5. Yes, command completed without error.
6. du -sh and ls -ltr results are different. Please see 3th answer.
7. Already checked if there's any log. But I didn't see any log.
8. Solaris 10 runs on both source and dest server.
9. If I copy files from source server to local disk of the remote server it copies file without issue. All file sizes are correct.
If I copy file from source server to sunstorage disk of the remote server, copied file size is decreased. That means this issue is related to SunStorage.

I'm checking storage and will share the result here.
