Try a DIR/BY_OWNER/SIZE=ALL. Every disk has a "cluster size" which is set up when it's initialized. You can find out what it is with SHOW DEVICE diskname/ALL. If the cluster size is, say, 8, then a "1-block" file "uses" only 1 block but "allocates" 8. /SIZE=ALL reports both numbers, e.g. "1/8" meaning 1 used, 8 allocated. It's the allocation that comes out of your disk quota. The difference between blocks used and allocated will be very noticeable on directories that have many small files. ------
