Typical example:
sudo du -xm /System/Volumes/Data | sort -n -o .all-du
Password:
du: /System/Volumes/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.aned: Operation not permitted
du: /System/Volumes/Data/private/var/networkd/db: Operation not permitted
du: /System/Volumes/Data/private/var/db/appinstalld: Operation not permitted
...
This question asked how to filter them out but I would like to figure out some way to gain permission to search everything on my disk. I don't plan to muck with Apple's private stuff directly but it might help me to figure out what I can do to free up the space.
The
du
command is just an example. I have the same problems with find
and ls
and any other command that tries to inspect protected areas on the disk.
