I am trying to find the size of the files on my hard drive in exact bytes, but whenever the size gets too big the number turns all weird (like 1.98329e+12). Can I stop it from doing this or convert this into exact bytes?The command isls -lR | grep -v '^d' | awk '{total += $5} END {print Total:, total}'Picture of exact bytes: Picture of weird number: The cut-off point before it stops showing exact bytes seems to be around 500gbThe command du -sb properly shows exact bytes no matter how big the directory is.I have tried Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 64bit (Japanese and English) and Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64bit (Japanese)My drives are NTFS so I tried formatting one as ext4 and copying my files over. The results are same as NTFS.
(ls) command won't show exact size - Weird output
