Hi,all
run `du * -sh` in a nfs mounted directory. But it only reports about 1/10 of the right size. That is, I have about 8G files in all directories but `du` only reports about 800M. Btw, the nfs server is running `ms service for unix v3`.
Does anyone meet the same problem here? Thank u in advance.

Might try du -sh without the *, should give a total usage for the current
directory and all sub directories.

A more specific answer is that * doesn't catch the hidden
( .* ) files and directories.
If you want to know the sizes of the current directory, and also
get a summary of what's in each first-level directory, you
acn go:
du --max-depth=1 .
(the '.' isn't necessary, since that's the default, but I like
to know exactly what I'm asking for).
