    Are you sure? 24,422,972 KB which NBU bplist gives is the same as 25,009,123,328 from the OS "ls -al" command. I suspect the "du" command which reports a slightly higher number may include some filesystem block allocation rounding-up and/or similar artifacts.

    I don't see a problem..

    24422972K   means

    24422972 * 1024 =  25009123328

    which is correct.

    Try du -kh  (not sure though if that works in AIX..)

    Yes, it appears that the du -k is a bit off but using the byte size from ls -la / 1024 works out.

     

    Thanks
