Please give more details, but note that people often misunderstand how this option works. I.e. `du -x DIR' reports only on files under DIR with the same device number (file system) as the command line argument, DIR. However, if you run `cd /; du -x *', it does the same thing for each argument -- much as if you were to run `du -x S' for each name matching `*' -- even if they're all on different file systems. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
