Quote:
1251 is indeed bytes but 6 represent a number of entries (links) and not bytes as "scripts" is a directory.
Agree with that but there is another 6 in fifth column not the second one.

I guess it means that :
- engine.ksh file is fragmentet into 4 blocks (512 Bytes each)
- engine.ksh occupies 4 blocks * 512 Bytes = 2 KB
- - engine.ksh actual file size is 1251 Bytes

So 'du' cmd show how many blocks a particular file or directory occupies on the disk geometry but the actual size of the object should be read from ls -la cmd ?
