Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5.3
Severity: normal
Hello Maintainer,
I have a script which I have not more used since Woody and not I have
encountered an error while this script turns my @home office into a
military airbase in alarm start...
Since I use several Fileservers and Servers which are entirely SCSI SCA
15000 RpM Drives (86 HDD's ~14 TByte) I was alarmed by my neighbour
which was bothered by the loudness of my servers!!!
On my Office-Workstation (AMD Sempron 2200+, 3 GByte memory, 10/100 VIA
OnBoard) I have tried to run the command
michelle1:/# du -xsmc /*/
which took arrond 17 hours... on a partiton of 3 GByte!!!
Why? This pig access ANY network drives (NFS shares) it finds...
For example on my Office Workstation:
----[ 'df -m' ]---------------------------------------------------------

and another test with an interesting result...

13682 /media/
352 /var/
120 /var/log/
748 /tmp/

------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, /media/ was excluded entirely, while /var/log/ partialy
and not /tmp/ not from this run.
Now a third test using the "-x" option:
----[ 'du -xsmc /media/ /var/ /var/log/ /tmp/' ]------------------------
1 /media/
232 /var/
120 /var/log/
748 /tmp/
1099 total
------------------------------------------------------------------------
and a fourth test:
----[ 'du -xsmc /media/hdb/*/ /var/ /var/log/ /tmp/' ]------------------
717 /media/hdb/1/
201 /media/hdb/10/
7349 /media/hdb/11/

1 /media/hdb/3/

299 /media/hdb/9/
232 /var/
120 /var/log/
748 /tmp/
14780 total
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think, according to "du --help" and the manpage, the parameter "-x"
should exclude Network drives too...
