_______________________________________________________
Details:
This is http://bugs.debian.org/400936 reported by Mike Castleman:
-----------------
In the find(1) manpage, the description of the %b format specifier in the
-printf command currently reads:
%b The amount of disk space used for this file in
512-byte
blocks. Since disk space is allocated in multiples of
the
filesystem block size this is usually greater
than
%s/1024, but it can also be smaller if the file is
a
sparse file.
While it is technically true that %b is usually greater than %s/1024, it is
probably more useful to say here that it is usually greater than %s/512.
[...]
------------------------------------
This applies to both 4.2.30 and CVS head. Trivial patch against manpage and
texi attached.
