Subject: problems about uploading file

Hi guys,
   I am working on some upload file code , here it is :
================== code begin =================
  require 'fileutils'
  require 'uuid'
  class Content < ActiveRecord::Base
    include FileUtils
    include UUID
    before_create :write_file_to_disk
    before_update :write_file_to_disk

    .........              ................

    def update_attributes_from_params params, *args
      args.each do |attribute|
        s= params[attribute].blank?  ?  "self.#{attribute.to_s}=%Q{}"
:

                %Q{self.#{attribute.to_s}="#{params[attribute]}"}
        eval(s)
      end
      update
    end
   .........               ..............

    private

    def write_file_to_disk
       file_path = "#{upload_file_path}/#{user_id}/#{file_name}"
       p " the file size : #{file.size}"
        File.open(file_path, "wb") do |media_file|
            media_file.write  file.read
        end
        self.size = @file.size
    end

    def file= file
       return  if file.blank?
      	@file = file
    	ext_name = File.extname file.original_filename
     # original_file_name and file_name are both content attributes
        original_file_name = file.original_filename
    	file_name =  UUID.new + ext_name
    end

  end

  when I update an file, I do it like this :
    @content = Content.find params[:content_id]
    @content.update_attributes_from_params params, :title, :orginazation, :file

  and it produces :
    "the file size : 8477823"

  but when I check the file uploaded ,
  irb >>   File.size"/home/tim/upload_test/1/adb12d60-9bd5-012a-a458-000c29f18cec.mp3"
     => 2176
  it's only 2.1K,  so any body can tell me why and how to handel it correctly.
  I tried @content.send("file=",params[:file]),but the real size is still 2176.

  Thanks, regards!

                              Tim
