Hi emerged coreutils up to 6.4 and the '-x' option on du seems broken, e.g.:
root> du --version du (GNU coreutils) 5.94 root> du -s -x DVBig Docs.bak Gimp.bak 16730112 DVBig 1935776 Docs.bak 1227584 Gimp.bak so all correct with the old version, these are three simple directories on the one file system. Now emerge to coreutils 6.4... root> du --version du (GNU coreutils) 6.4 root> du -s -x DVBig Docs.bak Gimp.bak 16730112 DVBig 32 Docs.bak 32 Gimp.bak so it seems that for the second and any subsequent arguments treated as on a different file system... eg if I swap the arguments order: root> du -s -x Docs.bak DVBig Gimp.bak 1935776 Docs.bak 32 DVBig 32 Gimp.bak if the -x is not used then the output is correct, (same as 5.94)... thought I would ask here first as I also upgraded most sys related packages just before coreutils...... anyone else get this?
