Running "du -hscx" from coreutils-6.4 reports incorrect sizes for sub-directories. This is on a reiserfs file system.

could you please make a tarball of a directory showing the problem and post it as an attachment ? also, could you try coreutils-6.6 and see if it has the same problem ?
Created attachment 102943 [details] Example of problem This tar.gz contains a directory called temp. If you run "du -hscx" within the temp directory it will show: 316K bigfile.txt 0 emptydir 0 nonemptydir 316K total However there is a copy of bigfile.txt in nonemptydir.
Yes, I am still encountering the problem under coreutils-6.6
Just to be absolutely sure, I downgraded coreutils to 5.94-r1 (the version I had before upgrading to 6.4) and the problem went away: user@host ~/temp $ du -hscx * 316K bigfile.txt 0 emptydir 316K nonemptydir 632K total
looks like just an issue when using -x and passing all the arguments into du: [this one is OK] $ du 324 ./nonemptydir 4 ./emptydir 652 . [this one is OK] $ du * 320 bigfile.txt 4 emptydir 324 nonemptydir [this one is wrong] $ du -x * 320 bigfile.txt 4 emptydir 4 nonemptydir
reproduced and e-mailed upstream
added upstream fix to cvs and it'll be in 6.6-r1 or 6.7, whichever comes sooner ;)

I have verified that this no longer occurs with coreutils-6.7-r1
