Reporting exremely large "Size on disk" #163

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In Windows WX SP3, copy a file to disk mounted on wlxkj652 running snake-os 
v1.3.x
2. Open "Properties" on the copied file
3. "Size on disk" is reported thousands of times larger than original file.  
e.g. 32KB file is reported as 32MB.  This seems to be the smallest block size 
for the disk and is way, way too large.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see a size on disk closer to actual file size.
I see size on disk thousands of times larger that actual file size for smaller 
files.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
snake-os v1.3.x, Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.
Using ext3 filesystem.  Copied 500GB of files (originally on NTFS) to a 1.8TB 
drive and it takes up the whole drive.
