That's why I suggested the idea of treating it differently if it ends with a slash vs. not ending with a slash. Sort of like how rsync does it. If this were done, then you'd have to do: du -x /mountpoint/ to get everything on the filesystem mounted at /mountpoint, but still exclude things sub-mounted under /mountpoint. Or there could an entirely new options - maybe -X (capital X). Anyway, just an idea. My specific problem is solved and is not a bug. >It sounds like we have a feature request here for a new option, which would >behave >the way you like.

No problem. ================================================================================= Please do not send me replies to my posts on the list.
