Message #127038
[Bug 1474493] [NEW] Directory size grows when creating/deleting thousands of files
Public bug reported:
Run the attached bash script. ( it might cause wear and tear on your
hard drive ).
What I expect should happen :
Folder size of test should be 4.0K like before I ran the test.
What actually happened :
Folder size is not 2.1M ( 2138112 bytes ).
There does not seem to be any way to recover the 2 megabytes lost and
the only way to get the folder size back to 4.0K is to delete it and
recreate it.
