What would interest me is why the following creates files with large preallocations. cp -a <somedir> target rm -rf target cp -a <somedir> target After the first copy everything looks normal, `du` is about the original value. After the second run a `du` shows a much higher value, until the preallocation is shrunk away. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
