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??
