Hi
this is more than likely a general linux question but on a CentOS4 box whats going on here?
# ls -al foo.txt -r--r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 1373149856 Mar 28 04:34 foo.txt
# du -sh foo.txt 808M foo.txt
any ideas ?
Sparse file. The file has holes in it:
# cd /var/log # ls -lh lastlog -r-------- 1 root root 577M Mar 29 12:52 lastlog # du -h lastlog 20K lastlog
Remember to use -S when tar'ing a file like this :-)
