Maybe there is a better way? But, now, another strange behaviour from `ls' command: just after copying `~/Mail' to `/mnt/pendrive/Mail', I have: $ ls -ld Mail drwxr-xr-x 92 rodolfo rodolfo 4096 2010-08-12 17:17 Mail $ ls -ld /mnt/pendrive1/Mail drwxr-xr-x 92 rodolfo rodolfo 8192 2010-08-12 17:17 /mnt/pendrive1/Mail Why the difference between 4096 and 8192??
