"du -hsx /*" might give you an idea of where to look.
There is a problem with that. Despite:
It's not a problem. As you say, it scans /home but if that's on a separate partition then you know it isn't the problem so just ignore it!
It wastes time. Takes much longer to run. My root is relatively small and fast (nvme), but the rest is huge and slow (rotating rust).
Ha! So you haven't suggested any alternative and you used the command yourself, so what's your point?
Of course I use the command, I don't have a better one! But maybe someone knows a better command. What I do is concoct a long parameter line including only the directories of interest and excluding /home and /data. But that line is only valid for me. There is this: --exclude=PATTERN exclude files that match PATTERN So, for me, this works: du -hsx --exclude=/home --exclude=/home1 --exclude=/home_aux --exclude=/data --exclude=/windows /* And I still should add /media and /opt It would have to be a script, that would create a exclude list from the output of the "mount" command, perhaps. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
