The idea is to cache all files into memory so that a re-run through those |
| 21 |
files goes faster. The command du takes all files of the dir you provide to |
| 22 |
calculate the amount of space used. Of course, you could use any other |
| 23 |
command that runs through the files... :) |
| 24 |
And for the record, I did not run du on my yesterday's update, mentioned in |
| 25 |
my previous mail... :) |
