Can anyone explain this:

# du -sk temp*
176 temp01.dbf
# ls -l temp*
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 2097160192 Nov 1 10:16 temp01.dbf
# cp temp01.dbf temptest.dbf
# du -sk temp*
176 temp01.dbf
2048008 temptest.dbf
# ls -l temp*
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 2097160192 Nov 1 10:16 temp01.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 root dba 2097160192 Nov 4 13:21 temptest.dbf

This has to be one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Please help
me believe that I'm not going crazy.

Thanks in advance!
