Hi list,
I always used to use du with the -cxhs options, but since updating to the
latest (8.15-1) version there appears to be a problem caused by -x:
> $ ls -la

> drwxr-xr-x+ 1 DKAdmin None 0 Apr 6 00:35 .

Unless I'm misunderstanding it badly, -x shouldn't make any difference when
counting a real file in the current directory. I wonder if it could have
perhaps been introduced by the recent related bugfix that I read about in
/usr/share/doc/coreutils/NEWS:
> du -x no longer counts root directories of other file systems.
> [bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0]
or perhaps some interaction between that and Cygwin's path conversion code?
cheers,
