Got it du actually shows the amount of space it has taken on disk. You should use --apparent-size to see the logical file size. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ du --si --apparent-size la-brea-tar-pits-address.jpg 124k la-brea-tar-pits-address.jpg [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ du -sh --apparent-size la-brea-tar-pits-address.jpg 121K la-brea-tar-pits-address.jpg du -b is equivalent to `--apparent-size --block-size=1'. See `man du` for details. _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
