Thanks for the answer so now for the next question. How do I sync this file to other FreeBSD servers. I tried using rsync with the --spares but the size on the other server was on it's way to being the 256G size and fill up the other server. How would I go about making an exact duplicate.=20 Wayne --- On Sat, 1/31/09, Dan Nelson <dnelson@allantgroup.com> wrote: From: Dan Nelson <dnelson@allantgroup.com> Subject: Re: ls -lh show file not displaying correct size To: "Wayne" <testcat2003@yahoo.com> Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Saturday, January 31, 2009, 3:33 PM In the last episode (Jan 31), Wayne said: > Hello, >=20 > I have a db file of FreeBSD 7.1 amd64 that is displaying the wrong size.

Can any one tell me what is up with fil= e size ? The 256G is correct. It's a sparse file (i.e. there are holes in it).=20 "ls -sk" will print the actual disk space occupied by a file. --=20 =09Dan Nelson =09dnelson@allantgroup.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" =0A=0A=0A
