Consider upgrading; the latest stable version is 8.5.  However, that is
unlikely to be related to your problem.

Most likely, you are not seeing a bug, but the effect of hard links and
sparse files.

Yes, probably you are right at the expense of sparse files, because the sum of the sizes issued utility ls close to the amount issued by a du -b. But why the du without the keys, like to du -k, du -m and du -h gives the correct size (without sparse)?



Best regards. Aureliano.
