Ls directory size reporting byte size instead of file count
I have been searching both on Unix.com and Google and have not been able to find the answer to my question. I think it is partly because I can't come up with the right search terms.
Recently, my virtual server switched storage devices and I think the problem may be related to that change. Previously when I did an "ls -ld" on a directory, the size column would report the number of files and/or directories contained in that directory. Now it is reporting a byte size. An empty directory is reporting 4096. If this is a configurable option, I would like to be able to request my admins adjust the option back to showing number of files & directories.
Thanks,
John

round_page
round_page(9r) round_page(9r)
NAME
round_page - General: Rounds the specified address
SYNOPSIS
#include <mach/vm_param.h>
vm_offset_t round_page(
vm_offset_t address );
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the address (or byte count) that is being rounded.
DESCRIPTION
The round_page routine rounds the specified address (or byte count) to a multiple of the page size. For example, round_page would round a
1-byte count to be equal to the size of one page. This routine shields the driver writer from having to know the page size of the system,
which could vary in different CPU architectures and on different CPU types within the same architecture. Typically, a device driver calls
round_page in preparation for doing a DMA operation to a user's buffer. The value returned by this routine is used in the call to the
vm_map_pageable routine. To use this routine, the driver writer must include the <mach/vm_param.h> header file in the driver.
RETURN VALUES
The round_page routine returns the rounded address or byte count.

Routines: current_task(9r), trunc_page(9r), vm_map_pageable(9r)
