Re: Determining used disk space

["R. Bradley Tilley" <rtilley@vt.edu>]

'df -a' shows objects that use space such as .gnupg and other hidden 
directories and files. You make it out to seem that it does not.

You are correct, you don't need to know that proc (a virtual fs) is using 0 of 
0 bytes, however, you may want to know that .emacs is 994 bytes.

the -l lists in a more orderly format.
