  I would buy that if I was comparing the size of the raw device (partition)  
to the available space in an empty filesystem.  But I'm just looking at a
single file here.  And a 1-byte file uses only 4096 bytes, which is what I
would expect on this filesystem (4096 bytes is the EXT3 block size for this
one).
