But HP-DP reports correct size for each directory.

Re: Why "du -sH" is listing higher filder/file size then actual filisystem size (reported by BDF)???

I don't know what -H gives on a 11.31 system... however, in earlier HP-UX versions, du returns the number of 512-byte blocks by default and the number of 1024-byte blocks if -k is specified.

5874074272 / 2 = 2,937,037,136

... which is very close to what bdf reports as kb Used.

You can expect to see the bdf usage reported as higher than actual the data occupancy because it takes account of file system overheads for inodes.

#man du

NAME
du - summarize disk usage

SYNOPSIS
du [-a|-s] [-bkrx] [-H|-L] [-t type] [name]...


Options
The du command recognizes the following options:

-a Print entries for each file encountered in the
directory hierarchies in addition to the normal
output.

-b For each name operand that is a directory for
which file system swap has been enabled, print the
number of blocks the swap system is currently
using.

-H If a symbolic link is specified on the command
line, du will count the size of the file or file
hierarchy referenced by the link. Unlike the -L
option, it will not follow symbolic links
encountered during the traversal of the directory
hierarchy.

-k Gives the block count in 1024-byte blocks.

-L If a symbolic link is specified on the command
line or encountered during the traversal of a file
hierarchy, du will count the size of the file or
file hierarchy referenced by the link.

-r Print messages about directories that cannot be
read, files that cannot be accessed, and so on.
du is normally silent about such conditions.

Hewlett-Packard Company - 1 - HP-UX 11i Version 3 Feb 2007

du(1) du(1)

-s Print only the grand total of disk usage for each
of the specified name operands.

-t type Restrict reporting to file systems of the
specified type. (Example values for type are hfs,
cdfs, nfs, and so on.) Multiple -t type options
can be specified. Disk usage is normally reported
for the entire directory hierarchy below each of
the given name operands.


-x Restrict reporting to only those files that have
the same device as the file specified by the name
operand. Disk usage is normally reported for the
entire directory hierarchy below each of the given
name operands.



<------------------

i though "du -sH" in is equivalent to "du -sh" in Linux.

hmmm.

Thanks for the answer.
