[SOLVED] du: total does not match detail.

Kernel: 2.6.21.5, O.S.: GNU/Linux (Slackware 12.0).
du (GNU coreutils) 6.9.

Hi:
Sort of a stupid question, maybe. But can you explain this?

Code:

root@foo:~# du -h
8.0K    ./.links
4.0K    ./.kde
8.0K    ./.mcop
36K     ./lazy-0.24e/man
64K     ./lazy-0.24e/src/.deps
192K    ./lazy-0.24e/src
60K     ./lazy-0.24e/include
744K    ./lazy-0.24e
8.0K    ./cddb/classical
12K     ./cddb
38M     .
root@foo:~#

Regards.

EDIT: whoops! du shows examines dir contents only, by default. I had ~/serkin.wav occupying 36M. Sorry.

Hi,

Glad you figured it out yourself. Off the Zero Reply List.

Kind regards,
