Compression maybe...? I have no idea.... when you make a nandroid the system partition is compressed which may give you a false estimate of its size...

Well im not copying it from a nandroid im copying it from the actual system
 
It's because of the busybox symlinks created during install. It's copying busybox every time one of those call it instead of the link. You must be on windows.
 
I just did it and I see what you mean... it went from 172 to 225

Yeah its really confusing i tried making a zip of it then extracting and the same thing XD i feel its the culprit of these bugs and the duplicates of notification and ring tones
 
Try looking inside of the system partition and look at the folder sizes... then go to the copy on the SD card and compare them

I just tested on my phone and that's what its doing. If you go in to your xbin folder you'll notice almost all of the files are the same size, that's why. They are all copys of busybox. Anywhere else you have a symlink is going to copy the resources it's pointing to also.

So is there anyway to stop this from happening??
 
A quick and dirty way would be to drop to a terminal and copy /system to sd, it will skip the symlinks because of permission issues on the sd card.

#su
#cp -r /system /sdcard/systembackup

Nope... I just add the system/boot.img and zip it... if I try to flash without signing then it just aborts... It took me forever to figure out the problem... maybe its cuz your doing it from the phone?

Maybe it always goes through and fkr everyone who flashes them it works fine
 
I too have noticed a duplicate of the notification tone. It is so confusing because i sit there for like 2 minutes trying to figure out where it comes from! LOL I'm glad you have found the problem.
