disk usage
I am able to say du -sh * from the $WORK dir and get a sum for all the dir's and files but if I go down 1 level to $WORK/migi_tests
and give the same cmd, it does not work,
% cd migi_tests/
% du -sh *
du: invalid option -- v
du: invalid option -- e
du: invalid option -- .
du: invalid option -- f
du: invalid option -- i
du: invalid option -- v
du: invalid option -- e
du: invalid option -- .
du: invalid option -- p
du: invalid option -- v
du: invalid option -- e
du: invalid option -- .
du: invalid option -- r
du: invalid option -- p
du: invalid option -- t
Try `du --help' for more information.
what is different between the dir's?
