Menachem,
The du command does not report (or even complain ) about directories that it cannot enter. You should always be sure that the filesystem is mounted with root privileges before you use du to determine the space used by directory trees. Also be very careful of qtrees with NTFS security.
Sincerely, Paul Lupa

Hi,
I ran the du -sk command once as root and once as an ordinary user. The results differed by several fold.
Is the reason that when running du as root the snapshots are calculated as well?
Running the quota report I see the same result as when the user executed the du command.
