I agree. I see an advantage in using the term "Size on disk": it is well known from Windows ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/hh148159.aspx ). But indeed, it does not always apply. It could be mentioned in a parenthesis and/or in quotes nevertheless to facilitate search.
Perhaps a better shorthand string would be "Allocation"?
That's even shorter, and it conveys what's going on.

Oh, good question. We currently have:

Size: 54              Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096

If we want to display the allocated size too, "Size" for "real"(?) size becomes clearly ambiguous. How about having a line for size? Something like

Size    Real: 54    Allocated: 4096
