Suggestion: Sizeof (by the maker of ImDisk) Shows compressed or sparse size rather than virtual size for files or directories

[Logic-Elliven]

The command line utility Sizeof64.zip (By the dev of ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver and Arsenal Image Mounter)
"...shows compressed or sparse size rather than virtual size for such files.
This tool counts one file only once, even if there are several hard links to the same physical file. There is also an option to skip reparse points (to let subdirectory search stay within one filesystem)."

I just thought this may be helpful to you and others ImminentFate..?
The other apps there may also be worth a look.

I'm not sure what the suggestion is here, sorry. Is there an inaccuracy in how the size is being reported?
