Subject: Finding a huge file dump from June...

All,

On our file server we have a single 1.5tb partition - it's on a SAN.
Over the course of 4 days recently it went from about 30% free to
about 13% free - someone slammed around 200gb onto the file server.

I have a general idea of where it might be - there are two top-level
directories that are over 200gb each.

However, windirstat hasn't been completely helpful, as I can't seem to
isolate which files were loaded during those days, and none of the
files that I've been looking at were huge - no ISO or VHD files worth
mentioning, etc..

I also am pretty confident that there are a *bunch* of duplicate files
on those directories.

So, I'm looking for a couple of things:

1) A way to get a directory listing that supports a time/date stamp
(my choice of atime, mtime or ctime) size and a complete path name for
each file/directory on a single line - something like:

     2009-01-08  16:12   854,509
K:\Groups\training\On-Site_Special_Training\Customer1.doc

I've tried every trick I can think of for the 'dir' command and it
won't do what I want, and the 'ls' command from gunuwin32 doesn't seem
to want to do this either. Is there a powershell one-liner that can do
this for me perhaps?

2) A recommendation for a duplicate file finder - cheap or free would
be preferred.

Kurt
