`ls` seems to incorrectly report the size of large files. The file tested should be a 2.9Gig file.


- ls version from man page output
ls (fileutils) 4.1 March 2002 LS(1)

[root] # ls -ls bigfile
3005416 -rw-r--r--    1 root     root     923832057856 Sep 12 18:14 bigfile
^^^^^^^ Correct ^^^^^^^^^^^ Does not look correct

address@hidden trash]# ls -lsh bigfile
2.9G -rw-r--r--    1 root     root         860G Sep 12 18:14 bigfile
^^^^ Correct                                    ^^^^^  Not Correct

Please let me know if it is something that I am missing.

Thank you,
Eric
