Hello. I've installed coreutils (8.32-4) in my Devuan system.
$ echo 'abc' > 3charfile.txt $ du -h 3charfile.txt 4.0K 3charfile.txt $ du --apparent-size 3charfile.txt 1 3charfile.txt $ echo 'abcdefghijkl' > 12charfile.txt chomwitt@enous:~/tmp$ wc -c 12charfile.txt 13 12charfile.txt chomwitt@enous:~/tmp$ du --apparent-size 12charfile.txt 1 12charfile.txt So my question is , shouldnt du report the number of chars=bytes as apparent size? chomwitt
