I also forgot the -k option for du.
I *hate* counting blocks and stick to Kilobytes - especially on my
mandrake box that insists on trying to show my the amoutn of space
used in the minimal number of chars.
du -sk gives 29123456 (number made up) in KB.
du -s gives "29G" - which is *so* usefull for shell scripting :-)
