    never saw the s argument and was curious what’s the difference to d. man pages are way ahead of me ^^

    --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize

      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. ;-)
