What does this imply ? Is linux lying or FreeBSD ? (I assume you got the
outputs above by mounting the same e2fs drive under the 2 systems)
Since "man du" specifies that the number indicated is disk *usage*, I would
say that the linux implementation is the more correct one. Does match
pretty well with the theory I had given - i.e. For files from 1 to 12K in
size the disk usage would exactly correspond to the filesize, sizes from 13
to 268K should show 1 extra block, and sizes above that should show at
least 2 extra - (for 1K blocksize).
What do you say ? Is this a bug in du under FreeBSD ?
