Gautam Gopalakrishnan commented on HDFS-8986:
---------------------------------------------
I feel I should invert the request in this jira. The behaviour of {{-du}}
should be the same regardless of whether snapshots are present or not. We
should add a flag to include snapshot volume, rather than exclude. Possibly the
same change is required for {{-count}}. [~cnauroth] and [~qwertymaniac], what
do you think?
[~jagadesh.kiran] I can take this jira if you're busy with other work.

> When running {{hadoop fs -du}} on a snapshotted directory (or one of its
> children), the report includes space consumed by blocks that are only present
> in the snapshots. This is confusing for end users.
