I've just copied a dir tree to another disk with cp -a. This tree is ~70GB big with millions of files, and diff was taking forever to finish, so I was looking for other methods to compare the dirs.



First I launched find on both the dirs and the result was the same.



After I launched du -h and one dir gave 72GB, the other 75. What can cause this difference supposing the copying process went well?
Disk block size is the same, 4096. One partion is EXT3, the other EXT4, could be this?






linux ext4 disk ext3

          Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
