30 Gb in a day? something is growing. A log, perhaps.

I seem to recall that there's a Linux utility or command that will list the biggest files on a drive, showing what's taking up the most room. I'm about to search through my Linux books for a reminder of that, but thought someone here might remember what it is.

kdirstat, for example. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I've been meaning to install bigger drives on my domain controller/home server, but I've been putting that off until the upcoming release of SuSE 11.0. Yesterday, however, I logged on and got a dialog telling me that disk space was running out, and I'd better do something.

Admittedly, I could have screwed something up -- work has been intense lately, and my concentration isn't what it should be, but I really don't know where that much space went so fast. I have 1.5 TB of new drives arriving tomorrow, but I'd like to get to the bottom of this mystery sooner, rather than later.

You have something that's spewing a lot of errors to a log file. that's one major reason I put /var on a seperate partition.

Try kdirstat

I'm not convinced yet that there's anything evil going on (I've got the server pretty well protected, I think), but I'd sure like to know what's using so much space. If someone has an idea what I could use to take a look, I'd surely be grateful.
