How to list true size of files with holes
 
I don't think 'ls' has a flag for this. Is there a command or simple script to list files with actual disk space consumed for each - in other words the thin or sparse size, as opposed to what 'ls' reports?

Maybe this will help a bit. No specific solution, but it does show blocks used in ls -ls
