In my particular case the problem is that coreutils probably picks none or the wrong value for ST_NBLOCKS for the VBOXSF file system. I looked at the du source in the coreutils-7.4 source and it appears like ST_NBLOCKS are not getting set. Problem is most likely in system.h where ST_NBLOCKS should be set.
In du.c where file size is not computed correctly. duinfo_set (&dui,(apparent_size? sb->st_size : (uintmax_t) ST_NBLOCKS (*sb) * ST_NBLOCKSIZE), <------ ST_NBLOCKS is incorrect -----------> (time_type == time_mtime ? get_stat_mtime (sb): time_type == time_atime ? get_stat_atime (sb):get_stat_ctime (sb))); If "apparent size" is used to compute the file size du works correctly. So using "du -bh" or "du -sh --apparent-size" works correctly. Let me know if there is anything else you want me to test in my particular case. -- 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
