[cobalt-users] ls command

["Filiberto Ricci" <filiberto@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

[root /etc]# ls -alg
total 1045
drwxr-xr-x  36 root     root         3072 Mar 28 23:58 .
drwxr-xr-x  16 root     root         1024 Mar 22 18:35 ..
....

First question
What's "total 1045"?
I thought it was the number of files listed (in this case the number in /etc
directory) but the output doesnt match  that number.

Second question
In the output of "ls -alg /etc" there is not a file Muttrc,
but if I try:
[root /etc]# find / -name Muttrc
find: /proc/6/fd: Permission denied
find: /proc/1452/fd: Permission denied
/etc/Muttrc
[root /etc]# locate Muttrc
/etc/Muttrc

My supposition was that ls was corrupted, but
[root /etc]# rpm -V fileutils-4.0-1_C1
[root /etc]#

gave me no result.

Please help me to understand,

Filiberto
