This is turning out even stranger... original xen core dump file is w2k3test.dump: cp --sparse=auto w2k3test.dump w2k3test2.dump cp w2k3test.dump w2k3test3.dump ls -lsk *.dump 528240 -rw------- 1 root root 528234 Feb 7 22:36 w2k3test.dump 1048576 -rw------- 1 root root 528234 Feb 8 11:12 w2k3test2.dump 528240 -rw------- 1 root root 528234 Feb 8 11:13 w2k3test3.dump How can the file consume 2x as many blocks on disk as its actual file size? Or is xfs mis-reporting things? James _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
