Why do you say that, for /proc? It is not completely a different filesystem, it seems. I use "--exclude=/proc" explicitly. The 'du' in SuSE 9.3 does the same.
/proc is a mounted pseudo-filesystem, but regardless, 'du' should avoid it with the -x switch. It's almost as if 'du' is having trouble recognising what /proc is? Except Steve said it worked fine on his 9.3 system.
I checked, and "du" does have problems with "-x" in my 9.3. See: nimrodel:~ # du -s -h -x --exclude=/proc /* 2.4G /backup 4.0K /nuevo 3.0G /home 0 /other ... All of those are mounted partitions, they are not excluded - except one. I suppose it happens because of the shell expansion of the '*' above, but then I don't see why "/other" is excluded. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDwxGJtTMYHG2NR9URAvbfAJ4oqPIyENz9C+jHxh4YLjmPanmFVgCeKyqJ 5yJnaHDQh48EgPZFCKuUS8A= =xgPE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
