I'm on AIX, and in some directories I can't use the du command. I get the follow error message:

du: 0653-175 Cannot find the current directory.

Obviously the current directory exists, and I have permissions to it. I can list the directory and create files in it, both before and after I ran du. What could possibly be wrong here?

The du command works just fine in my home directory.

A quick google search turns up a bunch of forum posts of the same problem, but no clear answers.

What are the permissions of the directory under the filesystem mount? Unmount the filesystem and check the permissions of the directory underneath, it's probably not root:system and 755. Your user ID probably doesn't have access to that directory and some AIX commands fail as a result.

It is a matter of privilege. Run your command as super user then it will show results.

oracle@dbprod:/grid/base/tfa/repository/suptools/vt1prod/oswbb/oracle/archive:> du -sm .
du: 0653-175 Cannot find the current directory.

oracle@dbprod:/grid/base/tfa/repository/suptools/vt1prod/oswbb/oracle/archive:> sudo du -sm .

it is probably because of ACL implemented on that directory. You may want to change to that filesyste,/directory owner and then try du.
