Subject: filelight confused by sparse-files and links

Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2004 22:42:48 +0100

Package: filelight
Version: 0.6.3.1-1
Severity: normal

If one creates a sparse file on a directory whith:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1k count=1 seek=1M of=sparse-file

filelight says a lot of disk space is used on that dir... but this is false:

$ ls -l sparse-file
-rw-r--r--    1 .....  .....  1073742848 2004-02-02 22:28 sparse-file
$ du -h sparse-file
4,0K    sparse-file

even worse if the same file has lots of links... after
$ ln sparse-file sparse-file.link

filelight thinks this directory uses 2Gb on disk, while...

$ ls -l
totale 8
-rw-r--r--    2 bodrato  bodrato  1073742848 2004-02-02 22:28 sparse-file
-rw-r--r--    2 bodrato  bodrato  1073742848 2004-02-02 22:28 sparse-file.link
bodrato@debian:~/prova$ du -h
4,5K    .

... it uses less than 5Kb

I think this bug is upstream's...

Thank's,
	Marco
