i've found a bug in the command du
When i list recursivly directories and i only want to see the binary
count of all files. I become a wrong result. The command e.g. du -ab
add the bytes from . in every directory to the result.
This is not a bug. -a is documented to include all files, not just
directories; its purpose is not to alter the reported totals, but to
show more detail by including an output line for every file i.e.
directory entry, which can be a regular file, directory, symlink etc.
Or did you have a parameterset to list the bytes only of the files?
Assuming you mean only regular files, there is no option to restrict
du's output in this way.
