You have to understand what du is measuring, and that you are not |
| 24 |
supposed to add the numbers up. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
./ is 21G |
| 27 |
Then, each individual directory is listed with it's total. The |
| 28 |
difference is the *files* in . |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Run ls -al and you'll see a bunch of files there that will add up to |
| 31 |
21G |
