The find command can be a big help. I also like " du -sk * ". It lists all files and directories and their size (including subdirectories.) It *really* helps to know what your systems are like normally.
Logs are usually the problem unless something is in a loop. Try " top " to see what's running. tom - - - - - - - - - - - - Toto, I have a feeling we're not in the mainframe world any more. _/) Tom Shilson ~~~~~ GEDW & VM System Services Aloha Tel: 651-733-7591 tshilson at mmm dot com Fax: 651-736-7689 Linux on 390 Port <LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU> wrote on 12/28/2004 05:02:02 PM: > What is the fastest way to find out what is filling up disk space? > I've been searching directories > manually and can see nothing that big.
