| Post subject: | DE HFS Calculate Size larger than drive size! |
Not the first time I have seen it, and I am sure there is a perfectly good reason, but why is it when I sometimes do a ‘calculate size’ on the full root of a HFS partition, i discover the amount of calculated Data is larger than the size of the drive??? For Example I have a 1TB drive that I can read perfectly, but with Data Extractor, the amount of extractable data is 1.4TB.... |

You may be seeing a folder with metadata containing the hard links and they are counted as files. |

Each link in the backup is counted as a file, even though it points to just one file. https://blog.acelaboratory.com/time-machine-hfs.html |
