i did some weird testing on ext2fs (2.0.33) and encountered the following
problem:
after touching 10000 files in a dir (all size 0), i deleted those files.
after the deletion of the files the directory size is far too big.
Ext2fs, like most Unix filesystems, doesn't shrink the size of the
directory after files have been deleted. Usually, this isn't a
problem. If it is, you can always rmdir and mkdir the directory to
reclaim the extra blocks.
