I *think* yls177 meant "du", not "df".
If so, then yes, it will the space used by all the files in the d subdirectory. It will not include other stuff in /a. "df" on the other will report on whatever filesystem d resides in. That might be /a or /a/b or /a/b/c or even /a/b/c/d. It would depend on the mount table. But those options don't make sense with any version of df that I know of. |
