All,

I'm running low on space on root, so I just ran cd /; du -shx *

I was expecting the -x to cause my mount points to be ignored. No such luck and I can see that since I explicitly am including /home etc. I'm going to get results for that.

Anyone know a simple way to say "how big are the subdirectories on my root partition?"

I think "du -shx /" or "cd /; du -shx ." would do the job.

Not really. You don't see directory-by-directory breakdown that way. Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks --max-depth is the secret. Never used that before. Greg On Feb 7, 2008 3:03 PM, jim barnes wrote:

Try: du -hx --max-depth=1 /

root@shuttle:~# du -hx --max-depth=1 / 4.5M /bin 0 /dev 13M /etc 236M /lib 0 /mnt 118M /opt 0 /srv 16M /tmp 0 /sys 398M /var 2.2G /usr 36M /boot 0 /home 0 /proc 6.2M /sbin 1.1M /root 40K /media 0 /initrd 3.0G /

Well, that's certainly far superior to that abomination I came up with!

That may be, but you put a lot more thought into yours. Even with my sed & awk + Mastering Regular Expressions, I wouldnt be able to work through it! :) -- Jim Barnes -- Certainly the game is rigged.

kdirstat does not normally follow mount points so if you select root you
will only get a report on stuff in root partition. You will see
references to mount points but no meaningful stats.

If you don't need a directory-by-directory breakdown, just use df: % df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on LABEL=Root10 35G 15G 20G 44% / (If df is given a file or directory name that is not a mount point or a mounted block device, it find which mounted file system holds that file or directory and reports on it alone.)
