Does anyone know of a bug in du where it computes filesizes wrong? A machine t
that I have access to is running 3.0e1 and when I do a du I get numbers that
on some files are one block greater than that reported by stat() in st_size.
Now, my personal calculations which appear to be correct are performed by
taking the size returned from stat() and / 512. If the size % 512 is greater
than 0 then add 1 to the blocks. The only thing we can figure is that du is
using an allocation and not the file size.
Please E-Mail responses as I do not subscribe to this group.
Thanks in Advance
