Hello,
I noticed something unusual today.
If I "du" a small file (couple of bytes) in CentOS 5, it tells me the file is using 8kb, while I was expecting 4kb which is the block size I'm using.
I tried this on several CentOS 5 machines, both x86_64 and i386:
$ echo test >test.txt $ ls -l test.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 filbranden filbranden 5 Mar 11 17:24 test.txt $ du -h test.txt 8.0K test.txt
<snip>
I could not find any differences that would explain the behaviour. Have you seen this before? Can you reproduce it on your systems? Do you know how to get the CentOS 4 behaviour?
strange. I don't reproduce on an x86_64 centos 5 machine: [nthierry@localhost ~]$ echo test >test.txt [nthierry@localhost ~]$ ls -l test.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 nthierry nthierry 5 Mar 11 22:44 test.txt [nthierry@localhost ~]$ du -h test.txt 4.0K test.txt
I'm pretty sure I did nothing special when making the fs.
HTH
I did the same test but my du -h test.txt gives 8.0K test.txt I am running linux mirrored drives, thus in one respect it is actually using 2 times 4.0K - once per drive?? Rob
