if i saw someone trying to use that, i'd assume that they were digging themselves into an unnecessary hole... in fact, the only time i remember seeing anyone try to use --apparent-size we talked them out of it.
that said --- du tests that used --apparent-size would probably work on all kinds of filesystems that the current tests don't work on. (so maybe implementing --apparent-size and -B# wouldn't be so silly, and then -b could just turn those on?) i'm assuming the busybox request didn't come with a convincing use case? (there are still Android devices with *only* 32-bit userspace. everything low-end is that, even though there are no 32-bit SoCs, and afaik everyone's using a 64-bit *kernel* at least.)
