It works for me. No other filesystems are traversed and /proc is therefore ignored. I am using du 5.3.0 with SuSE 9.3 on IA32.
Hum, this is a SuSE 8.2 system with du 4.5.8 - maybe I'll upgrade coreutils and see what happens.
I have an old laptop running SuSE Linux 8.2. Think I'll power it up to see what du says there.
Funny - judging by http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/coreutils/, there is no version 5.3? The latest appears to be 5.93? Bit of an odd numbering-scheme, me thinks.
Well, did not check the coreutils package, but 'man du' says 5.3.0.
Nevertheless, I don't think that 4.5.8 is buggy, either. I believe we
missed something, something that caused du to calculate "wrong" disk
space usage for individual files.
