Subject: RE: 1.1.8: du reports incorrect sizes

OK, I picked the wrong example which did not show clearly
what I was trying to say (d:/bin~ is 1.1.4).

1.1.8 does not show byte sizes, even if asked for it by the
-b switch.
d:/cygwin/bin>du -ba true
512	true
d:/cygwin/bin>d:/bin~/du -b true
395	true

1.1.8 reports incorrect sizes -- the correct amount of
stuff in the directory is about 40M.

d:/cygwin/bin>du -sk
21150	.
d:/cygwin/bin>d:/bin~/du -sk
42188	.

Bill

This appears to me to be simply one display in 1024 byte blocks and the
other in 512 byte blocks.  If you add a -k to the fileutils-3.16 version
you'll end up with the same answer as the fileutils-4.0 version.  I
suspect (don't know, don't care) that this is a configuration issue.  If
you want to always be certain you could always use --block-size=512.

Earnie.

P.S.: I prefer to use the -h or -H switch for size output.
