Hm, while not what I was expecting to see, it still looks much more like a driver/disk problem than du's... but now I'm curious what could make du fail like that, while ls -l doesn't.
Also, the fact that "looking" at ext2fs/ with ls -l "fixes" du's ability to se ext2fs seems to support this conclusion strongly. I'm going to set the coreutils bug back to Confirmed, out of respect for its previous setting; I'll also set the kernel bug the same. Hopefully, we'll be able to rule out one or the other, and reject it appropriately. ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Assignee: Micah Cowan => (unassigned) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- du reports existing files as missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53388 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
