Hi. I think there's a bug in the 'du' utility in fileutils-4.1.
du -b is supposed to report the size of the file in bytes.
The observed behavior is that du -b reports the size rounded
up to the nearest multiple of 1024, however:
venice[ /venice/cradle ]% ls -l file.dat
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cradle calce 417 Feb 19 18:29 file.dat
venice[ /venice/cradle ]% fileutils-4.1/bin/du -b file.dat
1024 file.dat
The expected behavior is that du -b report '417' as the size.
The problem seems to have been introduced in fileutils-4.0:
venice[ /venice/cradle ]% ls -l file.dat
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cradle calce 417 Feb 19 18:29 file.dat
venice[ /venice/cradle ]% fileutils-3.16/bin/du -b file.dat
417 file.dat
venice[ /venice/cradle ]% fileutils-4.0/bin/du -b file.dat
1024 file.dat
venice[ /venice/cradle ]% fileutils-4.1/bin/du -b file.dat
1024 file.dat
The problem is in the count_entry() function in du.c:
507
508 size = ST_NBLOCKS (stat_buf);
509 tot_size += size;
510
but in v3.16, we have:
514 if (output_size == size_bytes)
515 size = stat_buf.st_size;
516 else
517 size = ST_NBLOCKS (stat_buf);
518
519 tot_size += size;
Thanks.
