[CentOS] Off-topic: strange problem with file size
Hi I'm having a curious problem with some files. The account has 77GB of data[1], but there some files with more than 100GB[2], in fact, two of then have more than 200GB[3]. The OS is Opensuse 10.2 x86_64. Has anyone seem something like this? How can I inspect more closely what is going on? Thanks Marcelo [1] maryland:/maryland2 # du -sh alireza/ 77G alireza/ maryland:/maryland2 # [2] maryland:~ # find /maryland2/alireza/ -size +100G -print /maryland2/alireza/Restart/1to1-2/events-cfluid-rem-add-pasi/test.rsi /maryland2/alireza/Restart/1to1-2/lqfCyclic/Restart/a.rsi /maryland2/alireza/Restart/1to1-2/lqfCyclic/a.rsi maryland:~ # [3] maryland:~ # ls -lh /maryland2/alireza/Restart/1to1-2/lqfCyclic/Restart/a.rsi -rw-r--r-- 1 alireza cdrom 223G Jul 13 09:56 /maryland2/alireza/Restart/1to1-2/lqfCyclic/Restart/a.rsi maryland:~ # maryland:~ # maryland:~ # ls -lh /maryland2/alireza/Restart/1to1-2/lqfCyclic/a.rsi -rw-r--r-- 1 alireza cdrom 223G Jul 13 09:56 /maryland2/alireza/Restart/1to1-2/lqfCyclic/a.rsi maryland:~ #
