The actual number of bytes which are used on the filesystem to store the file can differ from this apparent size for a number of reasons: disks store data in blocks, which cause files to always take up a multiple of the block size, files can have holes (\'sparse\' files), and other technical reasons\. This number is always a multiple of 512, which means that the actual size used for a file is almost always a bit more than its apparent size\. +The concepts of 'file size' and 'disk usage' can be a bit confusing\.
