@TimJTi did you try to use an old NuttX version to compare? I think since
BINFS is a virtual file system it is not expected to show the right size of
binaries, but of course it could be possible to add support to list file size.
I think binfs is needed when we need to run external files, it becomes a kind
of shortcut the external files mounted from a thumb drive for example. I don't
remember all the details, but I think it was needed when I was testing running
external files.
Please take a look at fs_binfs.c for reference:
```
static int binfs_fstat(FAR const struct file *filep, FAR struct stat *buf)
{
DEBUGASSERT(buf != NULL);
/* It's a execute-only file system */
buf->st_mode = S_IFREG | S_IXOTH | S_IXGRP | S_IXUSR;
buf->st_size = 0;
buf->st_blksize = 0;
buf->st_blocks = 0;
return OK;
}
