1. what type of filesystem is this? Information from 'mount -v': ... /dev/sda12 on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime) ... /home/username/.Private on /home/username type ecryptfs (ecryptfs_sig=60cc62a1039711h8,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=3257a12b81aff999,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16)
So, it's an encrypted home directory on an ext3 partition. It might be ecryptfs related maybe? 2. is it local or remote? local 3. does it happen on other directories/FSs? Yes, most certainly! I pulled three projects from a Perforce server, all seem to report the wrong size with 'du -hsL'. In some cases, the difference is factor 2! 4. can you copy it to another place, and test again? I guess you assume to copy it to a non-ecryptfs filesystem. Sure thing. Result: Original folder now shows 59M copied to /home (local ext3), Nautilus shows 54M on ecryptfs and on ext3. So it's closer, but not identical. -- coreutils: du(1) doesn't summarize correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416981 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
