Hello,

I am curious about the mismatch between du and ls. Apparently, du reports=
=20
amount of 512 or 1024-K blocks, and ls lists the absolute value.

But, why in some cases, a 1100 bytes file is reported by du as 4 x 512=20
bytes instead of 3 x 512bytes

I note both use fstat().

Thanks for advice,
