Description Anders Ossowicki 2012-01-17 13:20:32 UTC

The du-k-works test seems to assume that du -k on a directory with two files totaling 80 kilobytes should report either 80k or 88k. In some cases however, both busybox' du -k and coreutils' du -k reports a size of 84k which causes the test to fail. I can reproduce this with the latest git HEAD, make defconfig, make, make test on ext3 and ext4 filesystems.

Build output of 1.9.3 attached.

Patch if this is intended behaviour

The attached patch can be applied if du reports the right size. I think it does, given that it agrees with coreutils but I'm not the right guy to make that call.
