I Well I have filelight and kdirstat for that, but those are all graphical. What I use tree for is to archive the stats of a directory (and all of its files) into a file for when I want to look at it withouth actually having to plug in the drive. And if I can do that within my beloved Vim, all the better. :) -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

I just noticed it in portage myself and thought it may be something that would interest you. I might add, there are other tree variations on this too. You may find eix tree interesting to look at.

A bit late to the game, but here is my way for this. For a one-off thing, I use the already-mentioned excellent ncdu, which provides vi-style navigation and even offers interactive deletion. du is a viable option for quick use on smaller lists. But when it comes down to actual comparable lists to be stored and archived, I like to use tree. In particular, I use it to store lists of content of my external harddisks, so I can find out what I stored where without having to turn the disks on, including used disk space. For that purpose, I use two different outputs. One paints the tree as such using ascii art, showing the size next to the indented name: tree -ax -n --du -h --dirsfirst The other one is a tabular format that is easier to look at in long lists, because it aligns size and date and prints the whole path, which also makes it easier to diff: tree -afx -DFins --dirsfirst --du --timefmt "%F %T" Tata -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

Here's a couple of nice ones:
< du -sh /* | sort -rh >
< du -axk / | awk '$1 > 2^20 {print}' | sort -rn | head -20 >
You could also check out the application ncdu for a curses-based
du command analyzer.

Did you try `du -cxb .` ?

[gentoo-user] Record sizes of directories of a directory tree (huge) most efficiently
Hi,
I want to determine the size of the contents of all directories of a
tree of directories on a hexacore AMD64 machine with 4GB RAM an one
harddisk (containing that tree) -- most efficiently (least time
consuming).
I tried this (cwd = root of that tree):
find . -depth -type d -print0 | xargs -0 -P 6 du -bsx {} \;
. Is there any to do this faster?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
Meino
