Hello Christopher,
thanks for replying. Sorry if I didn't describe the behaviour correctly. I
wasn't refering to a problem with the block size, but rather with the total
reported value. If a file is, say, 16000 bytes long, then du reports it
using only 8 Kb of space. Here's an example:
bash-2.04$ ls -alF
total 47

I can't duplicate this behavior. My version of du.exe reports block sizes
in 1024 increments. Maybe you need to upgrade your fileutils.
