Hi,

today I accidently stumbled over a strange looking directory:

# ls -la .
total 583524                          <-------------- 570 MB!
drwxrwxr-x  2 595128320 2008-03-29 09:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 25      4096 2008-03-29 09:49 ..
-rw-r--r--  1       420 2006-02-15 16:35 index.php
-rw-r--r--  1      2407 2001-09-22 00:33 README
-rw-r--r--  1       465 2007-02-15 04:07 ubar.php
-rw-r--r--  1       111 2008-03-29 09:54 ubar.png
-rw-r--r--  1        42 2008-03-29 09:54 ubar.txt

The contents of the directory[0] should not exceed a few KB anyway,
and lsof(1) did not show any large, deleted, but still opened files.
But to be sure, I stopped bwbar and the webserver which might have access 
this directory, even unmounted the whole partition - the directory size 
would still show up as 570 MB. Copied the directory (cp -a) to another 
one, the new one would show up as "total 36".

jfs_fsck reported nothing, the directory size did not change upon 
remounting.

I've gathered a few details and put it on: 
http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.25-rc7/jfs/

Can anyone make any sense of this?

Thanks,
Christian.
