stat Size and Blocks numbers don't decrease after deletion

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When I create a new directory and new files in it, I see its size and
blocks increase when running stat. After deleting all files, the size
and blocks of the directory don't decrease in stat.

I was thinking that ext4 runs defragmentation in the background and
eventually those two numbers will decrease. It looks like they don't.

Is this the intended behavior? Thanks
Nic
