In order to explain this behavior I did following test: $ echo "hello" > hi.txt $ ls -l hi.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 6 2009-02-15 18:37 download/hi.txt (the size of the file is 6 bytes "hello" + '\n' ) $ du hi.txt 4.0K hi.txt (the size of the block -cluster is a MicroSoft equivalent term- is 4.0K) That explains almost all. (Some data may be in memory in disk cache and can be some asynchrony with the file system) FN
