"ls .?*" is another "ls -A" equivalent.Hidden files or directories are hidden. What part of that are some people missing. You have to tell the system to expose those "hidden" items for many operations such as listing files, which this abuse of "du" is showing. (Isn't "ls -l" simpler? I alias that to "ll" and "lla" is "ls -lA".
This thread is amusing and bemusing for the willful disregard for standard 'ix behavior since virtually the beginning of 'ix time.
