Is it correct to assume this will sum up all mounted partitions on any folder which is a subdirectory? Say you du -s /mount, will this give the total of all mounted files in said directory? What about sshfs mounts, in the same way?

To get size of all directories, use du -sh *.

I get a lot of cannot read directory, permission denied is it safe to use sudo du?
