Can you provide a small example? Please provide the version of du and the system as well. du --version uname -a Note that du reports what the operating system reports is the amount of disk space used by the system. If the directory is empty then it very well might not be using any disk blocks at all. Bob P.S. The current bug reporting address is bug-coreutils and I have updated the headers on this message accordingly. You must have gotten that old bug-fileutils address from an older version of the program. This might indicate that you have a good update pending. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
