"ls" command issue on file size

[basavaraj]

Hi,

Iam working on suse linux 10 on x86_64.
On my system, i have an application dump file ( usually max in GB)

When i try to check the size of the file with ls -lh, it's giving huge size(TB)
_____________
*root:/dump> ls -lh core
-rw------- 1 root root 1.8T Aug 25 10:04 core
*root:/dump>
_____________

But when i try to check with ls -sh, i could able to get in GB's
_____________
*root:/dump ls -sh core
417M core
*root:/dump>
_____________

Also when i try to check with du -h command, i could able to get in GB's
_____________

*root:/dump> du -h core
417M core
*root:/dump>
_____________

So we are not able to judge which command to use to check the file size.
also why is this difference.

Thanks in advance.

i tried with "man ls". they have not gievn anything perticular abt that.

But while displaying the size, it should not be so high differnece.

your view on this.

Hi.

In physics problems, the first thing to check are the units and dimensions. Are all the programs providing the same units: characters, blocks, etc? ... cheers, drl
