I don't know about HP-UX, but on most versions of *NIX, du means Disk Usage, and directories (even empty ones) use disk space. In the case of ext2fs, the amount of disk space allocated for a directory is one file system block, which is typically 4kb. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
