Well, three, "how many bytes do I get if I open it and read all the bytes out". Or maybe four, how many bytes do I get if I open it and read all bytes which aren't holes (ie. how many bytes do I need to put into an archive that supports sparse files) :)
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoI would expect at least one of those cases to be identical to "how much space this will take if I copy it to other filesystem" if you're asking a generic question where the target is a hypothetical and therefore you have to say how many bytes would be taken by the raw files since everything else requires knowing specific details about the target.
