Your best bet is to read the source in /sys/src/cmd/cwfs; cwfs is a
ported version of the original file server, ie.  Ken's.

Ken's can be a little terse, but the out put is very meaningful; fsize
is what you care about in this context.  This is the number of blocks
used by the WORM.  Take this number and multiply it by RBUFSIZE to get
the number of bytes written to disk.  Assuming you're using a 64-bit
fileserver, this will be 8K by default (4K for 32-bit), but this
depends on the kernel you are using.

HTH,
Steve
