stat and ls show wrong file size (terabytes wrong)
- by WolleTD
Ok, I have a bunch of vCard files, all about 200 to 300 Bytes in size.
While trying to get them archived, I wondered why that takes so long and discovered that there is one file with a wrong size. Both ls and stat are showing a size of about 8.1 Terabytes. That's amazing because my SSD is only about 250 Gigabytes in size.
There are some other files with wrong sizes, too, but this is clearly the biggest one. I already gave it a fsck, but there seem to be no errors in the (ext4) filesystem.
How can I get rid of this wrong size?
Thanks,
Wolle
