Hi,
ls utility currently displays suffix representing unit in blocks column if
--size is combined with --human-readable. For example:
$ ls -l -sh /tmp/foo
4.0K -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6 Jun 23 11:32 foo
Suffix K in the output shown doesn't seem correct and implies false information.
Moreover if size of file is bigger say 1M then suffix used for blocks column
would be M. Looks like if file is small enough and no suffix is shown in size
column then suffix K is implied for # blocks column.
$ rpm -q coreutils
coreutils-8.22-14.fc21.x86_64
I contacted downstream maintainer first and this behavior shouldn't be caused by
downstream patch, therefore reporting here.
Please disregard this report if this is expected or bug is already reported.
Thanks,
Michal
