Hm, I don't understand.  I first thought you were saying that in the
above file there were only 380 KiB of data and because of a seek or
something, it would take up 6 MiB.

What I'd like to know now:  If my partition is 500 MiB, how many of
those "6" MiB files with 380 KiB data can I have on the partition?
500/6 or is it 500/(380/1024)?
