Hi,

When "rsyncing" the DCIM directory to my SD card, I noticed the ~/android_storage/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--1967290299 (anormally big) file was being transfered but what I don't understand is this :

$ ls -lh android_storage/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--1967290299 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root nemo 923M 2016-05-05 19:09 android_storage/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--1967290299
$ du android_storage/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--1967290299 
64K android_storage/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--1967290299

Why are these sizes so different for the same file ?

Why are these sizes so different Both ls and stat report the same size, why does du only report 64K for the same file ?
