I guess it hapens not only with ASCII files but with any files where a disk-usage of 0 is reported. I guess it happens not only on x86-64 but on all platforms. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

"btrfs: fix stat blocks accounting Round inode bytes and delalloc bytes up to real blocksize before converting to sector size. Otherwise eg. files smaller than 512 are reported with zero blocks due to incorrect rounding." opensuse in SLES for some time and backported to opensuse recently. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
