rkircher

Does anyone know of a Linux command that recursively determines the total diskspace consumed by a directory including all it's contents of sub-directories and files? I cannot find the correct options to use with tree or du commands so they work like the treesize.exe program for Windows.

Thanks taeuler, but I still cannot mount as a User, it only mounts as root. My fstab line is: /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto sync,noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.p1a3eP+6Hk5 I have tried this line in fstab and SuSE always adds back the original line anyway on boot-up when the thumb drive is plugged in. However, this line in fstab does NOT work as a user, but does works as root: /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto rw,noauto,user 0 0 The mount command may still be the problem tho. Here is what happens with your change to mount priviledges: ll /bin/mount (before change) -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 77488 2003-10-02 13:18 /bin/mount chmod +s /bin/mount ll /bin/mount (after change) -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 77488 2003-10-02 13:18 /bin/mount How do I change the last 'x' to 's' for the world? When I'm a User my group is not root so that may still be the problem.

I'm using SuSE 9.0 and cannot mount a USB Flash Memory (thumb drive) from a console using using the command: mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /media/sda1. This command works fine as a root user. All my directories are owned by me (not root) with full privledges and I've got the owner set to 'user' in /etc/fstab. Anybody know what I can do to fix this problem?
