Why does ZFS report such small directory sizes? For example, take a maildir directory with ten entries:
total 2385 drwx------ 8 17121 vmail 10 Jun 8 23:50 . drwx--x--x 14 root root 14 May 12 2006 .. drwx------ 5 17121 vmail 5 May 25 18:16 .Trash drwx------ 5 17121 staff 6 Jun 9 00:01 .testing -rw------- 1 17121 staff 0 Jun 8 18:30 .uidvalidity drwx------ 2 17121 root 2 Jun 6 19:33 courierimapkeywords -rw-r--r-- 1 17121 root 219951 Jun 8 18:29 courierimapuiddb drwx------ 2 17121 vmail 6144 Jun 9 09:59 cur drwx------ 2 17121 vmail 3 Jun 9 12:09 new drwx------ 2 17121 vmail 2 Jun 9 12:09 tmp Note how ".", this directory, is only 10 bytes long. Only one byte per directory entry? This confuses programs that assume that the st_size reported for a directory is a multiple of sizeof(struct dirent) bytes.
