I have all my music recorded as WAV files on my hard drive, currently taking up slightly over 63GB (and correctly reported as such by "du -ms /music/wav". The size of each file averages 45MB, although of course there are a dozen or soo 200MB monsters. Also, sharing the files via Samba to a Windows 2000 computer was working fine.
Something happened recently (can't think what, but something) and now file sizes are incorrectly reporte as being HUGE. For example, correct, then incorrect results reported by different incantations of "ls":

Most Kansas songs are reported as being over 20 times their real size! Also, looking at the directory from Windows 2000 reports 1.6TB total use, which I think is unreasonable given that it's a 120GB disk, and copying files to another machine tries to copy the 1GB+ per song, which is just plain WRONG.
Anything I can do to restore sanity here?
Thanks!
