Bug Description

When I do a backup of $HOME it first calculates before starting to copy files. This takes +10 minutes on my machine (just calculating). Bug?

find . | wc -l shows there are 65051 files
du -hs , 5,5G

Is it possible that the calculating part follows symlinks? Then I could understand why it takes so long (since I have my FS linked in my home.

Exluding some thumbnail-directories etc. removed this issue. With 8K files it just took < 10 seconds.
