I'm aware of relevant previous questions, but I'm seeing the opposite difference. When inspecting a net share, on a windows server, I see a folder with 'Size' ~10x larger than 'Size on disk':
What might be causing it?
Edit: The folder isn't compressed, the files aren't sparse (by random sampling), and the folder has low probability of duplicates - so symlinks/hardlinks cannot explain a 10x size factor. All in all, the answers here seem to not apply.

it seems the files are not sparse. This is a large folder with low probability of duplicates, and even if there are some sym/hard links scattered, I see no way that it can explain a 10x factor.
