So bytes or KB? If I specify --bytes on the line, I

Apparent size defaults to KB.
If you don't specify the units, there are various possibilities that it
could be, so you should specify something. If you want KiB, then use "-
k". I just use "-h". Unless you do something to give apparent size,
you will get the sparse size.
$ du --byte SparceFile
104857600 SparceFile
$ du --apparent-size SparceFile
102400 SparceFile (1024 KB I presume)
$ du SparceFile
0 SparceFile (This is correct. I created it this way.)
See what I mean? If I specify units, I get --apparent-size.
