Check out the du(1) command. Go in to a file system and type du -sk * or maybe du -sh * (I prefer the former because then all numbers have the same value) Once you determine some directory that seems out of line, go in to that directory and do it again. jerry > > -- > Christopher Chambers > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

If this isn't a FAQ, then search the mailing list archives. This question, or something leading to it like "out of disk space", comes up regularly. Robert Huff I used to run durep on my shared servers. The package seems a bit out of date and I have often considered adopting it as a pet project to rewrite/update, but time, time and time always seem to be an issue. You can read more about the application. It generates a comprehensive report that can be automatically emailed, or viewed via the web. http://www.hibernaculum.net/durep/ Cheers, Mikel King CEO, Olivent Technologies Senior Editor, Daemon News Columnist, BSD Magazine 6 Alpine Court Medford, NY 11763 http://www.olivent.com http://www.daemonnews.org http://www.bsdmag.org skype: mikel.king +--+ Follow me if you dare... http://twitter.com/mikelking +--+ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Disk usage analysis
These are called directories. You don't call files "sheets of paper" either, do you? :-) YES!! I'm probably too up-tight about the use of "folder", but it just seems like waay too much stupiding-down of the std Unix terminology. ([I thought I was the only one]. And yes, there are things of greater gravitas to be ticked off about!) it's just stupid to pursue windoze/maclame naming where names are ALREADY present! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Just for terminology: In UNIX (so in FreeBSD), there are no folders. Folders are made of paper and reside in a cabinet. :-) These are called directories. You don't call files "sheets of paper" either, do you? :-) For a GUI solution, check out file browsers. Most of them have the ability to calculate the disk space occupation of a certain directory or subtree.
