Hi,

I'm using stat() to get the size of a file. When it's a block device,
the returned size (st_size field) is 0. But sometimes it correctly
reports the size. It seems the kernel doesn't look for the size until
an I/O operation is performed on the device. Is it a bug or another
stupid standard compliance ? I tested it only on 1.6.2, but it'd be
good to check on 2.0 and current if it hasn't been corrected yet.
