GDU not ignoring directory #34
Comments
That is strange. Do you have something not ordinary? Maybe case insensitive file system? |
It's a standard Ubuntu 20.04 install. The partition is ext4. The directories inside I can try to provide any other info if you can tell me what you need. |
Do you have some symlinked directories on the path? Maybe |
Yes Does If that's the case, it's looking like my only option is going to be to go through each top-level directory separately to then be able to ignore |
Gdu does pre filtering. It checks absolute path of the every directory when entering it and checks if it matches some of the ignored dirs paths (exact match). If it matches, it ignores the directory completely. My guess is that gdu sees different absolute path than I could probably add some debug flag to log all directory paths which are processed. |

Probably tried several other combinations too. But every time it is still scanning
dirC
every time. The main reason for excluding dirC is because it has a lot of hard links which I think gdu is struggling with, but that's a different issue.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
