That was ambiguous, wasn't it!  The latter is correct -- and it was
the fact that they don't belong there under FHS that jarred with me.

Still, it was late and I was panicking rather unnecessarily.  After
sleeping on it, I am tending to the view they must be from that tinydns
episode.  I'm going to remove them on that assumption and see what
happens.  I never persuaded tinydns to run, so it is no loss.

(thanks for pointing out the -h flag, BTW.  Never noticed it before.
But wouldn't it be great if there were an option to pad all sizes with
initial zeros to allow piping through sort?)

I won't give you the output of '/usr/bin/du -c -h --max-depth=1 /*'
as you requested because it runs to about 450 lines.

Ignore the /fot (also non-FHS: it should of course be /media/fot, but
I am lazy) directory listed here, as it is on a separate drive (I
pruned it from the other output listings above), so the actual total
for du should be about 10.9G.

I kept the second disk for media -- photographs mainly --, but it looks
as though I shall have to take a part of it in order to decant some
other directory into it.

The filesystem in every case is ext3.
