We have a bunch of old IBM RT machines around here on which we're currently running AIX. (We will eventually change them over to AOS so we can have long filenames, large files, etc., but right now they're running AIX :-( ) I have the user's partition (usually /u under AIX) NFS mounted onto our RS/6000 machines so we can use the disk space. Yesterday I did a "du" on a directory which resides on the RT and the sizes it gave me for the subdirectories were WAY OFF! The total given was about 900000 when it should have been around 150Mb (which may be displayed as around 300000 on the RT since a lot of things on that system use 512 byte blocks [God only knows why they chose to be inconsistent. Probably the same reason they chose it in the chfs command under AIX 3.]) Anyway, I thought it was rather strange that du would be so far off. Does anyone know what's going on here? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard A.
