I have a folder on my F: drive. The directory tree looks like this. (only the 1st level is used in this example)
F:\folder1\CrashPlanArchive_m68061442375x002
F:\folder1\test
Here is the command I am using to scan this directory.
dirsize F:\folder1 -1 -nofiles -nostats -nosubs -nowaste >> C:\stats\folder1.txt
Using that command here is the output of folder1.txt

As you can see, it looks like DirSize is completely skipping that first folder for some reason. So I tried to alter my command to specifically go into that first folder. Here is the updated command
dirsize F:\folder1\CrashPlanArchive_m68061442375x002 -1 -nofiles -nostats -nosubs -nowaste >> C:\stats\folder1.txt
Here is the updated output with the modified command

However, this is STILL incorrect.
If I right click on the folder1 folder in windows and click properties it reports over 646GB inside F:\folder1
Any help?

I have not edited the output.
This is Dirsize 4.8
The Crashplan directory does not have 1.3GB.. it has over 646GB inside of it.
That is the problem, DirSize is not scanning the folder correctly. It is not reporting the correct amount.
To prove this here is a scan of the folder using the most basic scan options.
dirsize F:\folder1 >> C:\stats\folder1.txt
DirSize report, created at 4/18/2009 5:35:47 PM
As you can see, now it lists the folder as being 21.9GB in size. But that is incorrect too.

That was the problem. I upgrade to the new version and now DirSize reports the correct size.
