I'm playing with stat command which basically shows the inode information. Though I'm showing the information of a small file (146 characters), it shows 8 blocks. I was wondering why is that? Since the size of a page should be 4KB, which I expect the number is 1. BTW the file system I'm using is ext4. To give you more details:

more tmp.sh

#DATE=$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
#cp /var/log/filter.log /var/log/logHistory/filter_{$DATE}.log
dd=$(date --date='-1 day' +"%Y%m%d")
rm filter_$dd*

stat tmp.sh
