That all looks okay to me. What is the problem? Please be specific. In order for the above to be correlated you would need to have ls report the file size in blocks with the -s option and to have du report the amount of disk space used in that directory. I think you might be confusing the these commands. 'ls -l' lists the size of the file. 'df' lists the free disk space available by using statfs() which deals with blocks of a fixed size. 'du' (not mentioned) reports the amount of disk blocks used. All three of those are subly different. Try this example: dd bs=1 count=1 of=foo if=/dev/zero seek=500M ls -slh foo 512K -rw-r--r-- 1 bob bob 501M 2005-11-08 00:30 foo du -sh foo 512K foo Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
