A filesystem normally uses blocksizes of 512 bytes if not configured otherwise. Files with less than 512 bytes of size consume a complete block even if it's only 1 byte of size. A 513 byte file would therefore consume 2 blocks.

It is very unlikely that du or ls are buggy. However it's interesting to notice such a big difference. So far I have seen sparse files of 250 megabytes (ls) du reported to be only 8K of size but not vice versa. Could you please share the results of 'stat razor-agent.log'?

Possibly due to the size of the partition ?? Larger block sizes.

A block size of 256 Megabytes?? \Steve -- Steve Graegert Software Consultant {C/C++ && Java && .NET} Office: +49 9131 7123988 Mobile: +49 1520 9289212
