Hello List, I have a directory which contains 48 files. 35 of these files are large, close to 2 GB (reported by ls -l). 7 of the files a smaller than 4 K, the rest of the files are few dozen Ks in size. This is a FreeBSD 10 system with ZFS and RAIDZ2. du -h reports the directory to be 208G. du -A -h reports the directory to be 69G. It seems there is 2G wasted for each 1G stored data - would you explain why and what can I do make more economical use of disk space? -- Janos Dohanics
