The asterisk in your command line expands to something which does not include file names which begin with a dot. Btw, "du -h -s *" doesn't really make sense. Because when you want "the size of all files/subdirectories", just run "du -h -s" which is recursive by default. -- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux 2.6.9-1.2_FC2 loadavg: 2.72 2.40 2.20 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
