That file has a sensible size, but consists of only zeroes. This typically
happens with file systems that have metadata only journaling after a power
loss, as the metadata update is covered by the journal and can be replayed,
while the data write itself is lost.

That can happen e.g. with ext4 in "data=writeback" mode, which is
discouraged precisely for that reason.
