127 million bytes but 204MB on disk? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
It's not beyond the realms of possibility. Allocation block size is 4k. If every file was 5k, then they'd each take up 8k on disk, which gives 218MB.
Solution 2:
If all the files are below the allocation block size of the disk by a lot, then that could make perfect sense.
27,254 items all below an allocation block size of 8,192 bytes would lead to an "on disk" size of about 213 MB.
