Empty directories having different size
$ls -lrt mydir
total 12
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nobody 512 Aug 8 11:51 tmp
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nobody 4608 Jan 19 12:20 web.cache
$ ls -lrt mydir/web.cache/
total 0
$ ls -lrt mydir/tmp/
total 0
Can anyone explain me the above results? I know the o/p of ls, but this seems weird.
Why did the 1st ls give total 12? I think it is supposed to give the total number of files listed?
Why is the size of the 2 directories listed different. when both the directories are empty?
Thanks,
Rahul.
