Re^2: Disc Space checking

Ew, that hits the tree twice :(

On a big directory you'd probably want to put du's output in RAM and do the postprocessing there...

Yes, but it only hits 20 indodes the second time around :-) cheers tachyon	[reply]

It can hit up to 60 depending on filesystem type and filename length, but yeah, come to thing of it, this isn't too bad :-) (Wait no, it can hit more than 60 actually, because subdirectories mean another inode hit (or three). So in very deep, very long cases, this can take a few hundred hits. Still not too bad in practical terms, of course.)	[reply]
