> The get_file_size subroutine in Linux.pm is pretty tricky. The size of a file
> isn't as straightforward as one would think. It currently returns the `ls`
> size of the file which is not accurate when the actual size of a .vmdk file
> is requested. The `du` size is more relevent. The subroutine doesn't use
> `du` because it doesn't exist on ESXi. Instead, `stat` is used and the sizes
> are calculated based on blocks used and block size.
