Rather than using du you can enable disk quotas on the filesystem. Just don't set any actual quota and use it just for reporting. Use xfs_quota or whatever to report usage by user group or (if your filesystem supports it) directory. That way you don't have to scan the filesystem to get the current usage. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
