[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1360888, member: 71075"] I get consistent values for each bundle:[code]~/Applications :: du -sk Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/ 214524 Google Chrome Canary.app/ ~/Applications :: du -sk Google\ Chrome\ Canary\ 2.app/ 214524 Google Chrome Canary 2.app/ ~/Applications :: du -sk Google\ Chrome\ Canary\ 3.app/ 214524 Google Chrome Canary 3.app/[/code]That's not all that surprising though since my first use of du reported similar findings. While I used megabyte level values (which would remove some precision), I didn't expect the difference you saw since, even with rounding, the values would have been drastically different. In other words, I'm willing to bet that if you did a "du -skh" on those bundles, you'd see values similar to 208MB and 389MB. If my differences were that great, I probably would have moved down the "size level" for more precision. ;) [/QUOTE]
