Wrong size with ls
Hi !
I've just installed a Debian Woody (stable) and I encourtered something
strange in my '/var/log' directory.
When using both the '-l' and '-s' options of 'ls', the sizes given are
incoherent.
For information, 'du -k' gives the same sizes as 'ls -s'.
pc-atinf2:/var/log(58)ls -lsk
total 1024
32 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24082 Dec 7 20:57 XFree86.0.log

...
I tried to fix it with 'fsck' on the '/var' partition, but this program
told me everything is ok.
Has anyone already had this problem ? Is it a bug or a wrong
installation from my part ?
TIA,
Prakash
