   I don't agree. I'm not interested in the pecularities of the filesystem, I   
   want to know the size of the files. When manipulating/copying/moving files   
   around, there are two things of interest:   
      
   1. The size of the files themselves.   
   2. The amount of available space on the destination drive/partition.
