Is this normal? # du -hsx /proc/*-> 4.8G /proc/kcore
Yes, some of the files there represent your system memory, so it looks like you have something about 4GB of RAM. /proc is a virtual filesystem, so these files don't need your diskspace, don't worry...
ps: Why do the first 2 outputs happen?:
# du -hsx /proc/* | grep kcore du: `/proc/18268/task': No such file or directory du: `/proc/18268/fd': No such file or directory 4.8G /proc/kcore
I guess that the process with PID 18268 just went away while executing your command. Maybe I'm wrong, if someone knows it better - just let me know ... -- David Mayr, http://davey.de openSUSE LINUX, http://opensuse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
