If you don't, there is a problem. This works fine for me with 2.2.5 (to the byte) on linux.

Re: [Samba] Directory size display discrepency
That actually looks pretty normal. Windows properties show two sizes because it shows both the real size of a file (Size) and the amount of space it's reserving on disk because of the cluster size (Size on Disk). Your user will see the same thing looking at a small file or directory in C:. I'm not sure how Windows handles the "size on disk" for a file server, it probably either asks for it or guesses based on the total size of the disk. In any case, it's normal to have different sizes showing. I'm assuming that the directory contents actually do total around 33 bytes. It's been a while since I used a DEC so I don't remember how its "du" handles the size of small directories. If you use "ls -l" you'll probably see that the directory shows 4096 as the size.

[Samba] Directory size display discrepency
Hi, I would liek to ask the list if any one can explain why there should be a discrepency in the directory sizes that are displayed when I use explorer on Windows. This has been reported to me by a user, I have never seen this before as I dont use windows if I can help it :-)... When I slect properties of a directory it has two enties Size and Size on disk As an example size says 33 bytes, size on disk says 512kb and if I du a du -ks on the directory it reports 4 k. Has anyone noticed this before ?, do I need to set up samba a different way? I should say that the machine that samba is on is a DEC/Compaq machine running 2.0.10 but is also seen on a 2.2.3a samba installed machine.
