OK. Here we go.
ls is changing a 8 into e.g. 11 (I used 11 = 99GB)
Maybe an ever greate size should be used to reduce the liklyhood that
these size has to be increased in some years, again. ;-)

du is a bit more "complicated". I stripped the Tab-char and made the left
column 11 chars wide(left aligned)
This may be a problem for programs parsing the du output.!

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
