Hi,

I just try to get a Raspberry Pi up and running. I use a FreeBSD
installation to do this:

FreeBSD X220.alogt.com 10.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #44
r270870: Mon Sep  1 08:46:27 WITA 2014
erich@X220.alogt.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X220  amd64

For some reason I did

[X220]/rescue (root) > du *
6.6M    [
 12K    dhclient-script
4.0K    nextboot
6.6M    total
[X220]/rescue (root) > 

A plain du gives this:

[X220]/rescue (root) > du
6.6M    .
6.6M    total
[X220]/rescue (root) > 

If I do the same inside the directory containing /rescue for the
Raspberry, I get a list ending with these lines:

5.7M    unxz
5.7M    vi
5.7M    whoami
5.7M    xz
5.7M    xzcat
5.7M    zcat
5.7M    zfs
5.7M    zpool
768M    total

This is what I also would have expected for the amd64 directory.

Why does du stop after [ but includes the two scripts?

Of course, all the other files are also in this directory as shown by
ll:

total 931792

-r-xr-xr-x  138 root  wheel   6.5M Sep  1 09:16 chflags

...

Does somebody have any ideas?

Erich
