Why not use 'du -shc * | sort -h | tail -n11'?
The total produced by du will sort after all the individual parts.
Good idea -- didn't know about '-c', but two things, 1 troubling,
the other a confusion. If you have a dir named 'total' it can be
slightly confusing:
Ishtar:/tmp/dutest> du -shc * |sort -h|tail
1.5M sperl,v
3.6M total
5.0M total
Ishtar:/tmp/dutest> du -sh * |hsort -s|tail
1.5M sperl,v
3.6M total
---- -----
5.1M TOTAL
But more a more obvious problem is 'du -shc' seems to be coming up with
the wrong number -- i.e. 1.5+3.6 = 5.1, not 5.0.
In my original example, it's off by more:
Ishtar:linux/linux-4.1.0> du -sch *|sort -h|tail
6.7M kernel
8.4M tools
26M net
29M sound
30M Documentation
31M include
37M fs
128M arch
330M drivers
645M total
