Re: [newbie] Disk usage
Renaud, You can get the information you're looking for by using this neat little command. du -h dir(s) to be listed --max-depth=1 Example: du -h / --max-depth=1 give it a try...you'll love it!

Is there a way to do this with du , Or any other way ? I dont need/want the breakdown with all the sub-sub-directories listed, only the total for each first-level sub-dir.

Edit this textfile to get the requested numbers. After giving you the size of each subdir in a subdir, it eventually gives you the entire size of that subdir with its own subdirs. I hope this will help you, Mathias

The URL for Xdiskusage is http://xdiskusage.sourceforge.net/ The page contain a binary which can be run by a user if you change the execute permissions on the file once you download it. Neville Cobb wrote: If you are using KDE2 you can obtain that data by right clicking on the directory and choose properties. It will then calculate the space. Another is a program called xdiskusage which graphically presents the data for you in a bar chart that allows you to setp through each major section and continues to break it down.

[newbie] disk usage
HI, I installed linux mandrake server version at home. I'm connected to the internet via ADSL modem. I'm not doing anything on the server and I noticed that the hard disk led is sometimes blinking. The sometimes means in every 2 minutes it blinks. I'm just wondering if it's normal or I misconfigured something. THX, istvan
