It seems PCManFM has indeed a bug reporting disk usage. I have a
directory that is a lot bigger than my disk... :)

It even gets the size of a one-byte file wrong. It reports the "Size on
Disk" as 32768 bytes, while "du --block-size=1" reports 4096 bytes,
which is what I expect.

This is with pcmanfm-0.9.10.


HTH,
