This does not make any sense!
user@localhost:~/folder$ du -h --max-depth=1
6.1M ./subfolder
6.1M .
user@localhost:~/folder$ ls -la subfolder
total 6228
drwx------ 2 user user 6369280 2013-07-08 16:03 .
drwx------ 9 user user 4096 2013-07-08 16:04 ..
du
reports 6.1 megabytes, ls
reports a total of "6228" (I don't know total of what)... but the folder is empty... indeed, there is no file there and it should be empty indeed.
Why is that? Can someone explain this to me?
This is happening in a VPS running Ubuntu 10.04
Thank you.
