When i run "du -sh .*" in /root (wanting to get the size of all files and directories in /root), du crashes. korra root # du -sh .* 727M . du: `..': No such file or directory du: du.c:432: process_file: Assertion `(size_t) info->level == prev_level - 1' failed.

Do an 'ls -R .*' You'll see that every file in your machine is being listed. Seems like du recursively searches it's arguments or something... ls .* works fine. As a workaround you can do du -sh .[!.]*, this excludes the '..' directory. There might be a nicer way though...
Two things: #1 it works on my machine (i.e. doesn't crash), but that's with fileutils-4.1.11. Not sure if your errors are because of how you compiled it. #2 if I understand what you're trying to do, that's not how you do it. Try `du --max-depth=1 -h` instead.
Works fine with sys-apps/coreutils-5.0.91-r4 When reporting bugs it's really helpfull if you can give the version and the name of the pkg your having problems with. qpkg -f /bin/du emerge -pv pkgname
Hi, I know it computes the space usage for /root/.. which is actually / , but it shouldn't crash, should it? korra root # epm -qf /bin/du fileutils-4.1.11-r1 coreutils-5.0.91-r4 korra root # emerge -pv fileutils These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

seems to be resolved in 5.2.1 (or at least a quick test on my box showed it not crashing)
