This is an arbitrary 1024 byte "block" count, a figment of "ls"'s
imagination. I'm pretty sure it reveals nothing about the actual block size
of the filesystem.

=====================
Cameron,
The 1K block size count is not arbitrary but forced by the -k option. If
the
block size on the file system was 4096 bytes, the ls command would yield 4
for
size. See "man ls" if you need help.
