Note that it counts the "inodes" which is different from
"directory entries".
For instance, in a directory that contains 100 entries all
hardlinks do the same file, du --inodes will report 2

Here's how you would use `--threshold' to find directories
Thanks for the very informative answer! I expected the piping of all the
filenames to another program to incur much higher overhead.
Anyway I'm glad to see that the new du can count inodes, hopefully faster
for when we can give up flexibility.
Cheers,

But 'find | wc' IS efficient, and already exists on every machine,

Hi,
I think that might just be what I had in mind. Unfortunately it is still
not available in my RHEL6. But thanks a lot for pointing that out.
Just for reference, du space count seems faster than find | wc. Looking
forward to test with du --inodes.

Hello everybody,
First post here, so sorry if I lack knowledge on the details...
I'm doing system admin in a company and user directories here get pretty
big sometimes. Not only they reach 100GB easily but they are produce
millions of small files due to their work nature.
So, a very "simple" old
