Not necessarily. While the file was written to disk the inode may not have been written and so the system may not know to true location of the blocks belonging to the disk.
The copy of my gnumeric file says the file size is "0" (zero): $ ls -l race_cars.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 ken ken 0 2006-02-23 11:49 race_cars.xml It is an XML file because I tried to gunzip it.
I am more interested in the size of the original file. Andreas -- Andreas J. Guelzow, Professor Dept. of Mathematical & Computing Sciences Concordia University College of Alberta
