  • There are duplicates scattered throughout the whole network: [Super User](http://superuser.com/questions/142893/why-is-the-size-of-a-directory-always-4096-bytes-in-unix) [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1012488/when-running-ls-l-why-does-the-filesize-on-a-directory-not-match-the-output-of) and a few others about it. Though, I think this should be the canonical question with an awesome answer. – Bobby Oct 01 '12 at 19:27
  • The super user answer is fine IMO, I would consider this a duplicate. – jordanm Oct 01 '12 at 19:30
