Ok, I tracked it down a little. The 'Infinity' is correctly inherited from subfolders all the way up, it boils down to a single .xml file, which claims to be 16 exabytes, it obviously isn't :)
$file .. on the file is correct and says 'data', $vim can open it and shows some binary... (binary in .xml?) The FS is btrfs (with lzo compression), no failures noticed, nothing interesting in dmesg. Follows the strace on the offending file, Thanks, Mark $ du -s ~ + du -s /home/XXXX Infinity /home/XXXX ++ printf '\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007' XXXX beruska '~' [XXXX@beruska ~]$ set +x + set +x [XXXX@beruska
