[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Dear sir,

I fund the following problem : The --block-size option of "du" gives a 
wrong value :

du -b firmware-7.7.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso
524288000    firmware-7.7.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso

du --block-size=2048 firmware-7.7.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso
*256002 *   firmware-7.7.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso

*256002 *is wrong - the right value is 25600

I didn't find the same problem with the isosize command :

isosize firmware-7.7.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso
524288000

isosize -x firmware-7.7.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso
nombre de secteurs : *256000*, taille de secteur : 204

My configuration :

- Linux Asus 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.63-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux

- Paquet coreutils :
- i   8.13-3.5

Best regards


Philippe Bénézech
