Note that it counts the "inodes" which is different from
"directory entries".
For instance, in a directory that contains 100 entries all
hardlinks do the same file, du --inodes will report 2 (the
directory itself and the file).
Add the -l option to count directory entries (and get 101 in the
example above like for find|wc).
