Dear list, please excuse my ignorance, but possibly I missed something (or my experience is just too weak):
What kind of analysis tools do we provied for "half-wise" admins (like myself) who needs detailed statistics on space consumption in home directories? This is the background: Usually, I run "du -x /skole/tjener/home0 |sort -n | tail -40" to spot the largest directories. It's no problem to run that command every night and log its results, of course. But now, I encounter more and more types of files that are not really big by themselves (like 10-30 MB) but as they exist in nearly every home directory, they consume more than 10% of disk space. What tools come into your minds that might be apt for such statistics: - show me the file that has the most identical copies/consumes the most disk space in total - show me what file types (by extension) take the most space - show me what directory names (or relative paths) bear the most bytes ... But maybe we are just too old-fasioned, providing only 80 GB for 800 Users, the 100 MB quota is exceeded easily nowadays...
