i did some weird testing on ext2fs (2.0.33) and encountered the following
problem:
after touching 10000 files in a dir (all size 0), i deleted those files.
after the deletion of the files the directory size is far too big.
paul@snoopy:/home/paul > ls -ld test
drwxr-xr-x 2 paul users 313344 Mar 1 21:07 test
the script i used to create the files was:
=================
#!/bin/sh
i=0
while test "$i" != "1000" ; do
touch test.$i
let i=$i+1 ;
done
echo 1000
i=0
while test "$i" != "1000" ; do
touch test.$i
let i=$i+1 ;
done
echo 2000
.
.
.
.
echo 8000
while test "$i" != "9999" ; do
touch test.$i
let i=$i+1 ;
done
echo 9999
==============
