You can use the
du -h on hde2 root, and the same in the directory of hdb6 wich is
copied to hde2, maybe it is related to the cylinders size?

Thanks, Guillermo. I erased the contents of hde2 and used cp instead
of mc to copy from hdb6, and the reported problem did not occur. I
guess that mc may put some temporary files in the destination where it
is copying.
