Operating Systems AIX why a directory size is different on two servers? Post 302296079 by jim mcnamara on Tuesday 10th of March 2009 10:00:36 AM

Oh.

The size of a directory file has very little to do with what is actuall in the directory.
That type of file just grows in size. If you remove some files - it stays the same size.
So as an explanation - how about at one time the 1024 size directory had more files than it does now? When copied to another box it required 512 bytes for the new directory.

If the value is preceded with a signed symbol, the filesystem is resized with respect to the current filesystem size. size can be suffixed by k,m or g to represent kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes respec- tively. -A device Scans the device for btrfs filesystem. -a Scans all devices present in the system for btrfs filesystem. -c Forces a filesystem sync.
