On my ext4 file system, I have a directory that has >2TB and the

$ du -bs Stuff
2093651427987 Stuff
ls -ld is showing the size of the actual directory, NOT the size of the
files stored within and under it.
du -s adds up the size on disk of all the stuff IN the directory.
note also that size on disk even for a single file can be larger than
the size of the file as files are allocated in blocks.
