Hi All, This is not actually kernel problem, but I thought of discussing this here.
I have created a 2 GB file through a script, but i see the size of the file through ls and du commands it is reporting different size. for example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> file test test: character Computer Graphics Metafile [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ls -l test -rw-r--r-- 1 adil group 2147483648 2007-09-24 23:51 test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> du -b test 2147483648 test The above output is OK. but when I do: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ls -lh test -rw-r--r-- 1 adil group 2.0G 2007-09-24 23:51 test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> du -h test 2.1G test <--------------------- why it is showing 2.1 GB I could not understand this difference. Could anybody explain this behavioour? The machine is SLES10 x86_64 Rgds, Adil
