If I was on my laptop and not my phone I would post a screenshot with a P just for you

lol , is home separate mount point?

I shred paper. ;-) After digitizing it of course. ;-)

For working I'm a backup and DR guy...the name was intended to be ironic. ;-)

I know, I just paid $500 for a 24TB SAS drive that was $250 just over a year ago.

Du hast mich. Du hast mich gefragt UND ICH HAB SPEICHERPLATZ

The most well-timed thing I ever did was buy 6 2tb NVMe drives in August last year

God help me if one fails

There’s probably a bunch of permissions errors, filesystems warnings for cross-filesystem mounts or links, etc. all going to stderr. Linux output streams are a bit odd, 1 is stdout and 2 is stderr. So the command is redirecting the “noise” to null and just printing the actual command output. That would be my assessment, but OP could probably give a more correct answer..!

2> means stderr.... Keeps the "can't access ...." Out of the display.

That's stderr, not stdout

There's !datahoarder@lemmy.world, !datahoarder@lemmy.ml, and !datahoarder@selfhosted.forum...

EDIT: spelling

So just did a couple of experiments...

sudo su -sh /home - returns permission denied errors on certain NAS subdirectories, but not a lot.

du -sh /home --summarize -returns the same errors.

du -sh --max-depth=0 - returns the same errors plus an error saying that using --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize.

;-) for the purposes of what I was doing (creating a clip for posting) redirecting stderr to null was the best option.

But I learned a few things today, which is cool. ;-)

To keep the errors out and provide just the result.

To be fair, all but about 2TB of that is on a NAS...but still.
