Hello community,
I'm currently facing an issue with the `du` command taking an extended amount of time when dealing with a directory containing a large number of files.
I'm using the command to calculate the total size of the directory.
Total number of files: 956878
Here is the command I've been using:In this case, the command took approximately 4.428 seconds to execute.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions from the community on optimizing the `du` command or alternative approaches to efficiently calculate the total size of a directory with a large number of files.
Best regards,
Samadhan
