Directory File Size [Slightly OT]

[Sarwer Zafiruddin <sarwer.zafiruddin@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I appologize for the slightly OT nature of the e-mail.  But I figure this
is a good place to ask, since there is alot of filesystems experts in this
list.

I am curious exactly what the file size for a directory file listing
means?  What makes the file size of a directory file larger?

hotdog_$ ls -ld gas_mech_assy
drwxrwxrwt   5 sarwer    dba        10493952 Oct 15 17:26 loaded_pkgs
                                    ^^^^^^^^
                                    What is makes this number get bigger?

Just curious...appreciate any information on this.

Thanks,
Sarwer Zafiruddin
