Hi,
I don't known if this is a rigth place to open a support/issue, if isn't I'm sorry!


= State of local machine

- coreutils 9.1
- kernel version 6.5.7-100
- OS fc37.x86_64
- GNU bash, version 5.2.15(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
- bash terminal KDE Konsole 23.04.3


= Tested commands

- $du -h -a /home/<my_home_dir>/ | sort -r | head -n 10
- $du -a /home/<my_home_dir>/ | sort -r | head -n 10

how can you see: with and without -h option.


= Scenario

When I run the below commands the output results are different! Just this is very strange, because the only difference between two command is the human-readable option. But how can you see from the attached figure, the beahviour is so strange:

  • 1. the listed files/path are different (but not the last 2 items - labeled with "996 size")
  • 2. the size of paths apparently remains the same but the paths are different (9.9M ~ 9992K but the first item/path listed by the first command is different than the first item/path listed by the second command)
  • 3. finally if you see the size of the file "red X - file: ncpa-2-0-0.exe", listed only by the second command, this is not correspond/equals to the output of the command ls -la as you can see in attacched figure.



I'm sorry for eventually confusion!

Regards,
Tiziano
