I agree with leif, this is probably an issue with the filesystem you are using. This is on an reiserfs file system: $ cd $SAGE_ROOT $ du -sh # On-disk size 3.0G . $ du -bsh # Sum of byte sizes of files 2.7G . -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
