    Following my recent rebuild of an external drive, some files have the size listed wrongly. Files which I know to be several GB in size (and are perfectly readable by the video editing programs they belong to) are listed as 1KB in the Finder. They're also listed as 1KB in Terminal, using ls -l

    What's going on, and how can I cure it? Restarting the Mac doesn't work, ejecting and remounting the disk doesn't work...

    Mike Bombich at Carbon Copy Cloner says that this is a known problem. Finder, left to its own devices, eventually sorts itself out, but there's no way of knowing when.
