James, $ du -csh /usr/sbin 11M /usr/sbin 11M total
Is that what you want?

Is there a good tool to say analyze part of a file system tree and report how much space it is using? Say like /usr/sbin - which is not in it's own file system but part of a larger one. I'm trying to size a new deployment based on another and adust for growth. I am limited at the moment to a mod-9 drive size, so its kinda critical to know what parts of the root FS contain the most mass. I am also limited on the number of volumes I can actually have, so I'm trying to figure out the best distribution of limited resources My thought was this: Mod 3 capacity 2838 mb Mod 9 capacity 8514 mb swap 3390 mod-3 / 3390 mod-9 /tmp 3390 mod-3 /usr 3390 mod-9 /usr/bin 3390 mod-9 /usr/sbin 3390 mod-3 /home 3390 mod-9 /bin 3390 mod-9 The thing is that I dunno that I can have that many volumes (bringing up 4 new linux LPARs (no vm yet)) That's going to be 24 volumes that I need which is about half of our reserve. My alternate plan would be based on a any output the aforementioned desired tool would produce, or if anyone has any input on this sizing plan, i'd be happy to hear. I'm the inexperienced novice again, in the presence of giants, so if anyone has any ideas for me, by all means type away. Thanks -James
