Problem with /var/lib/ntp/proc. How to get rid of it

[vactirio]

Hello,

I issued the command (SLES 11) from root du -sh /* but got some errors.
Its seems that /var/lib/ntp/proc whichs is mounted provokes this error.
Any advise on how to avoid/fix that?


Thank U

Andreas

These are pseudo files and directories (they don't really exist, materially such that du can see them). You might redirect stderr from du to a file and/or the bit-bucket (/dev/null) to stifle these errors/warnings. IE,

du -sh /* 2>/dev/null
