Created attachment 9742 [details] Minimal config busybox `du` stores the size sum as `unsigned long long`. This works (with musl at least) until ~16 Exabytes (`2^64-1`) but overflows beyond that due to missing overflow check. This size can be reached with sparse files. (Run in a tmpfs. Otherwise `dd` may throw size errors) ```sh dd if=/dev/null bs=1 seek=$(echo '2^63-1' | bc) of=a dd if=/dev/null bs=1 seek=$(echo '2^63-1' | bc) of=b printf 12 > more busybox du -bc a b => 18446744073709551614 total busybox du -bc a b more => 0 total ``` The `du` implementation of coreutils prints `Infinity` and a 0 exit code. I think a non zero exit code makes more sense but that is debatable. Downstream issue: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/16075
