I am getting the same output. What is the diffrence between file size and disk usage?
Disk used is literally disk used, by the cluster or cluster-equivalent. Files smaller than the minimum cluster size may still occupy the full cluster. Observe an empty file taking up four kilobytes of space:
This may vary depending on your system and filesystem, but that's the point -- it varies, it's not an exact measure of the file.
An even weirder case is sparse files, which have empty "holes" in them that take no disk space. Here's a disk image I made with ntfsclone:
Code:
$ ls -lh
total 62G #<---- Huh??
-rw------- 1 tyler cdrom 233G Jan 31 14:28 01-part.img
drwxr-sr-x 2 tyler cdrom 6 Feb 1 15:57 mnt
$ du -h 01-part.img
62G 01-part.img #<--- That's why! Sparse file might be much smaller than it looks
$
Using du on a sparse file will give you a very wrong impression about file size!

Hello, all!
Working in a Bourne shell. What command would list the filename and size of a file if the size of the file had to be bigger than $a and smaller than $b?
Output (if $a is 10 bytes and $b is 50 bytes):test1.txt 15
test2.txt 30
test3.txt 50
