Oops true. How about (I realize this is getting protracted): find / -xdev -printf "%p%y\n" | sed 's/d$/\//;t; s/.$//;' | tr '\n' '\0' | xargs -r0 du -s | LC_ALL=C sort -rn -k1,1 thanks, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
