[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8497) Shell needs a way to list amount of physical consumed space in a directory

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8497?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13398469#comment-13398469 ] 

Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8497:
-------------------------------------

Would a {{du}} option that reports sizes after multiplying by the replication factor address this issue?

> Currently, there is no way to see the physical consumed space for a directory. du lists the logical (pre-replication) space, and "fs -count" only displays the consumed space when a quota is set. This makes it hard for administrators to set a quota on a directory, since they have no way to determine a reasonable value.
