Indeed, remounting yields the correct Mb result.
What I missed, is that the result of du(1) is not in bytes, but in
_kilobytes_ (since I know there is appx. 300 Mb, I thought it was bytes).
So this means that the plan9.iso, being "only" 250Mb, had a small impact
on a printed result wrongly multiplied by 1000 or so. So the file was
not hidden, but this is the whole du(1) count that is wrong.
The mounts in my profile are the vanilla ones (the only customizations
are for the network, the mouse, the keyboard). I do not play with the
namespace.
Have you an idea where to look to find what are the offending
instructions? /boot(8)?
