I was looking through my system with du -sch ./* to find the big useless files I may have stockpiled with no reason, when I found this:

$ du -sch ./*

du: cannot read directory ‘./drbunsen/.gvfs’: Permission denied

du: cannot read directory ‘./drbunsen/.cache/dconf’: Permission denied

18G ./drbunsen

18G total



$ cd drbunsen/

$ du -sch ./*

601M ./Desktop

20K ./Documents

598M ./Downloads

4.0K ./flash

4.0K ./Music

8.0M ./Pictures

4.0K ./Public

4.0K ./Templates

4.0K ./Ubuntu One

8.0K ./Videos

11G ./VirtualBox VMs

6.9M ./workspace

12G total

How do I make hidden files visible? du -sch ./.* gives the same result as du -sch ./*.
