RE: UNIX question du vs df -> large discrepancy

What is the OS block size? "df -k" reports the number of Kilobytes whereas "du" reports the number of OS blocks. If you are running most variants of UNIX (System V and variants), your OS block size is 512bytes. 1/2 of 936 is 468.

I have no idea about the remaining 12Kb.
