My home partition is getting very large all of a sudden but my files on my home folder do not equal the size of the used space. I am the only user on this computer.
Is there a tool that can scan the home partition and give me a breakdown of what is using the space?
Use the folling command:
du -sk|sort -n
This will sort files according to size. Run a couple of times to see which file is growing.
This will ignore dot folders which contain caches and similar folders which can grow unexpectedly. Use this instead: cd $HOME du -h --threshold=1M | sort -h That will print a recursive list of everything that is > 1MB. So if you have a folder with thousands of small files, the folder will show up (but not the thousands of files). Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.
