Description
dwalk currently reports the logical size (as reported by stat) of a file. It would be great to add the ability to report disk usage (similar to what du would do).

Research direction
Start with dwalk's existing logical-size reporting and trace where it obtains file sizes from stat. Define how disk usage should match du, including the expected output and filesystem semantics, then add coverage for the new reporting mode. Done means dwalk can report disk usage as requested without losing its current logical-size behavior.
