Filesystem sizes

["Orn E. Hansen" <oe.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I'd like to move much of my data to a journaling file system, especially 
since the kernels at late af a tendancy of crashing from time to time :-) and 
I've seen several files "vanish" as a result.

  Now I tried backing up the following ext2 file system...

/dev/hdb13              326682      7814    302002   3% /usr/doc              


  And made the file system an xfs, and remounted and putting the archived 
data back into the directory results in...

/dev/hdb13              332532    115728    216804  35% /usr/doc              


  Any explanation? and in case anyone asks, yes I tried making the file 
system an ext2 filesystem again, and then the used size is normal.
