Have you checked the file's contents?

In many modern UNIX filesystems the file is only allocated blocks where
it needs them.  If there's a large chunk of the file that's empty then
the system doesn't bother using up disk blocks for it.


You need to do a check on the whole contents of the file.  I think
you'll find it's all there.
