The only reason why I question it is when I lookup the size in windows (the directory is shared with samba) I see it as less. >From bsd: 390 /home/henninb/jpg >From windows: 372KB windows
Is it because of the share or the change in platform? thanks -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Seaman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 11:33 AM To: Chris Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: du On Tue, Mar 16, 2004 at 10:55:33AM -0600, Chris wrote: > On Tuesday 16 March 2004 10:53 am, Chris wrote: > > On Tuesday 16 March 2004 10:51 am, Brian Henning wrote: > > > does du return the size in KB by default? > > > thanks > > > > You can try du -h > > That's listed in man du > > Sorry - I forgot to answer - Yes Actually the answer is 'no, but...' -- by default du tells you the size in disk blocks, ie. multiples of 512b. However, the standard /etc/login.conf on FreeBSD causes the environment setting: BLOCKSIZE=K to be made, causing all the numbers du outputs (unless told otherwise on the command line) to appear in kilobytes. This is all quite clearly explained in the du(1) man page.
