I see what you mean. However, at the end of the du run, the atime of all the directories will be the current time. The du --time=atime option is simply reporting this fact. Correct, just not very helpful. Perhaps better would be to have a further option to exclude the time of directories when collecting the last time. This would be most useful for atime, but could also be applied for mtime and ctime. I don't have much time to work on this at the moment, so if somebody else would like to take this up, then please do so. If not, I will see what I can do, but it will take a while. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
