[P1] Folder size inflation

[Kim Gammelg å rd]

Could it be that it is not formatted in HFS+ (extended) format?

If not, and if the format is standard HFS, the minimum filesize will be
(80.000.000.000/65536)=1,220,703 Bytes(=1.2MB), so if you have some 500
files, yes that will bring your folder to 600MB no matter how small your
files are. 

Just a guess!
