Hello Christopher,

thanks for replying. Sorry if I didn't describe the behaviour correctly. I
wasn't refering to a problem with the block size, but rather with the total
reported value. If a file is, say, 16000 bytes long, then du reports it
using only 8 Kb of space. Here's an example:


bash-2.04$ ls -alF
total 47
drwxr-xr-x   2 Administ Kein         4096 Oct  5 15:23 ./
drwxr-xr-x  13 Administ Kein         4096 Oct  5 15:13 ../
-rw-r--r--   1 Administ Kein        14189 Jun 11 20:16 Makefile

I can't duplicate this behavior.  My version of du.exe reports block sizes
in 1024 increments.  Maybe you need to upgrade your fileutils.
