Newbie question:
How can I get the total size, in K, of all files in a directory that
match a pattern?
For example, I have a dir with ~5000 files, I would like to know the
total size of the ~1000 files matching *.txt.
On RHEL and bash, if it matters...
Thanks,
Kent

Ah! Perhaps I
More than you asked for, but here's a command that reports
total space occupied by all files with names ending in .jpg,
recursively from the current directory (but not crossing mount
points) and which is also a gratuitous example of the Process
Substitution facility mentioned in a previous

Ooops - that --files0-from= option is apparently
new enough (my du version is 5.97) that it's probably
not widely available. My home system has it, but my
work systems don't... -/

Hmm, again, certainly not my fist instinct :)

to be aware of things like
allocation overhead (a 3 byte might use 4096 bytes on disk, or
whatever) and sparse files (files with holes in the middle, thus
using *less* space on disk than the file size).
The GNU variant, at least, has an option to report actual file sizes
instead of disk usage

Since I know Kent has a Mac and this might be on his laptop, I'd like
to add that this should really be:
du -ck *.txt | tail -1
No, this is a bona fide Linux question :-) it's a Webfaction account.
But thanks for the note!

I'd just like to kibbutz one more subtlety: du reports disk usage as
discussed above, but another way that you can get seemingly conflicting
numbers is from sparse files
Hi All,
Can the 2GB file size limit be changed? I need to store about 10GB worth
of data in a single file, but it dies at 2GB.
TIA,

I don't know if ext2 supports big files. I think you need to turn
something on in the kernel
