Re: Checking space usage in IFS?

add s (e.g. du -gs) to omit the lower level directories and just give you a summary.

Something doesn't make sense here:

I'm in QShell, in the directory of interest, and I get this:

> du -s
556377192
> du -gs
265.31

Unless the scaling on the du -s is something other than bytes, something doesn't add up here.

And is there a way to check the space occupied by *just the files* in a given IFS directory?
