du used to do that in some cases, but I changed it a few years ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.fileutils.bugs/881 http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=ca6d256f125ea496cdb059a201f92f77f1ce0c69 --count-links makes it count *all* hard links, even the ones in the same command-line-specified directory. If people think this is important/useful enough it might deserve a new option. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
