I'm now completely confused. The command du -abh /home/steve/workspace is now displaying the information directories beginning with a '.' and at least some files beginning with a '.' without having issued the shopt command.
The command you're showing DOES NOT do pattern matching!
du -abh /home/steve/workspace
v.s.
du -abh /home/steve/workspace/*
The later command is basically creating a list of files (a shell function) and doing a "du" on each file individually.
Notice that if you use that command you don't get a summary of what is in the workspace directory. Also, note that the later command creates a sorted list.
You are mixing functions of the bash shell and the command being run within the shell!
