I don't get this. I have an identical number of files in two identical directories. One is on my NTFS drive and the other is on my FAT32 drive (backup).
There are definitely 11 files in the directory for 132,446,115 bytes. However, in FAT32 it reads as 12 files as 132,447,127 bytes. Is this because FAT32 counts the parent directory as a file?
The entire FAT32 MP3 directory has 3640 files in 425 directories: 27,241,019,808 bytes
The entire NTFS MP3 directory has 3260 files in 425 directories: 27,240,623,052 bytes
These two should be either identical or very close to identical.
Given that everything in those directories are MP3 files (usually around 7 MB each) I'm guessing the content is exactly the same. Can I attribute the extra files and bytes to directories? I can't make everything add up however. The only other caveat is that a Mac has accessed some of these directories and has deposited some extra fork files down, but as far as I can tell I've deleted them all (or at least almost all).
