Where are you running du -sh *
? (I.e. what directory, are you definitely scanning the whole file system?) I’m sure it’s obvious, but can never hurt to check!
What does du -sh /
show? (Generally, the *
glob pattern in the shell will not match hidden dot-files, so is it possible they are being excluded?)
So, that is to say, they expect it to have no impact on serious work whatsoever?
