You can run "du" to get a list of disk usage by directory (it's recursive)
.. From there youc an sort it numerically with " | sort -n"
And at that point, you can just have it spit out the biggest of the
lot by running "| tail"
So something like:
du | sort -n | tail
See the man pages for these three guys for details.
