When running

rsync -Paz /home/sbird "/run/media/sbird/My Passport/sbird"

As told by someone, I run into a ran out of storage error midway. Why is this? My disk usage is about 385 GiB for my home folder, and there is at least 800 GiB of space in the external SSD (which already has stuff like photos and documents). Does rsync make doubly copies of it or something? That would be kind of silly. Or is it some other issue?

Note that the SSD is from a reputable brand (Western Digital) so it is unlikely that it is reporting a fake amount of storage.

    With Dolphin Godot directory is 1GB vs 5GB. Why is there a difference between filelight, dolphin, and du -sh? So weird

      it looks like much of the extra Godot bulk is in .git and .Godot directories

      Something about never knowing the time when one has two clocks
