Subject: [9fans] fossil pb: FOUND!
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:38:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120113133836.GA484@polynum.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120113113026.GA419@polynum.com>

Summary of the previous episodes: after having reinstalled Plan9, with
almost only the vanilla distribution, du(1) announces 325 MB, while
fossil uses twice the place to store.

I suspected, since it was clearly almost precisely twice (minus some tmp
files and kerTeX), that the problem was the plan9.iso was still there,
at least in fossil, and not showing.

On the console, I tried in turn (looking at the scripts in pc/inst/)
where it could be, and found:

stat /active/dist/plan9.iso plan9.iso glenda sys 664 289990656

But the surprise is that it was _not_ hidden. It _was_ here under /dist
... but apparently not added to the summary made by du(1)? Does du(1)
"know" that some dir are mount point taking (normally) no real space,
and skipping them? Because this means one can add whatever files in
there and fill fossil with du(1) ignoring all...

On a side note, the print from du(1) is not accurate with the "-h" flag:

term% du -sh /
347.8285G	/

I have megabytes, not gigabytes.
