Any help appreciated.
Your mail directories ARE 4k. Almost all folders are. (Very small disks can have 1.0k folders.) Directories store names only. Example: ~ %% ls -ld / /dev /usr/share/doc ~ drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 1.0k Nov 5 2003 / drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 21k Aug 25 06:27 /dev drwxr-xr-x 173 stefan stefan 16k Aug 25 10:27 /home/stefan drwxr-xr-x 1076 root root 24k Aug 23 10:32 /usr/share/doc ~ %% du -s /usr/share/doc 447M /usr/share/doc Du seems to be what you want. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
