What I do to see large directories is just 'du -sh *' starting at root and then drilling down from there. If you want to see what the largest files are, you can use this Perl script that Randal Schwartz wrote: #!/usr/bin/perl # # Usage: bigfiles <dir> [dir ...] # # Abstract: This script reports the top 20 largest files in one or # more specified directories, including subdirectories. # # By: Randal Schwartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # From the article at # http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/UnixReview/col16.html if ($#ARGV lt 0) { $0 =~ s#.*/##; print("Usage: $0 <dir> [dir ...]\n"); exit 1; } use File::Find; find (sub { $size{$File::Find::name} = -s if -f; }, @ARGV); @sorted = sort { $size{$b} <=> $size{$a} } keys %size; splice @sorted, 20 if @sorted > 20; foreach (@sorted) { printf "%10d %s\n", $size{$_}, $_; } -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
