Hi, all:
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":
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wav]# ls -1sh Kansas*
55M Kansas ~ Best of Kansas ~ 01 ~ Carry on Wayward Son ~ 890B500A.wav
33M Kansas ~ Best of Kansas ~ 02 ~ Point of Know Return ~ 890B500A.wav
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wav]# ls -l Kansas*
-rwxr--r-- 1 rpaiz rpaiz 1181163340 Aug 3 18:09 Kansas ~ Best of Kansas ~ 01 ~ Carry on Wayward Son ~ 890B500A.wav
-rwxr--r-- 1 rpaiz rpaiz 1375989404 Aug 3 18:09 Kansas ~ Best of Kansas ~ 02 ~ Point of Know Return ~ 890B500A.wav
As a follow-up to my own post (sorry!), I have rebooted the machine to install a new up2date kernel, and the disk check for my /music drive showed "95.8% non-contiguous files". I have never seen anything higher than 2% before! However, it reports as clean and the problem I see has not gone away after having fsck'ed the disk.
Help...?
