Hi.
After MIRROR operation, Linux DISKS GUI shows the source drive as 52.2% full and the mirrored drive, 74.4% full. FFS Comparison shows the destination drive with = in both Action and Difference views. And a quick visual comparison of each drive's folders looks like they are identical. Both drives are formatted exFAT.
Q: Can you think of a reason for the significant difference in the data size?
(Apologies if this is a dumb question... i am a Noob. ;0)
Thank You, Friend
Significant size difference between Mirrored 8TB exFAT drives?

You can also use a disk space analyzer to get more detailed information. I use WizTree on Windows and it shows size and space on disk, which is probably where your mismatch is. What are the sector sizes for each drive?
