By "filesystem" I don't mean "the entire filesystem", I mean "one of my filesystems".
Suppose /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb1 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda5 /var ext3 defaults 1 4 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto user,noauto 0 0 Suppose / is 20 GB and 90% full, and /home is 80 GB and 25% full. If I analyse /, I want to see what proportion of that 18 GB various files take up, and since stuff in /home doesn't contribute to that, I don't care what's in it. I don't want to see that stuff in /home is taking up 20% of /, because /home is not, in this sense, part of /. In particular, /dev/cdrom is not always there, so the percentages you get for / depend on whether you have something in the CD drive or not; and /proc is generated dynamically, so its size is meaningless. -- [baobab] add options to analyse by filesystem https://launchpad.net/bugs/80746 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
