I'm trying to find out the directory size of a folder to determine if a user has rights to keep writing to the folder (i.e. they are within the given limits I've imposed).
I'm doing:
du -sb <path>
which is fine and all, but the problem is if whilst this is being executed, another user deletes something from that directory then du
chucks a bunch of Cannot find file
errors to the console.
Is there any way of handling this or at least stopping du chucking errors?
Thanks
