Re: [PLUG] Good tools to assay disk usage in linux

PLUGgers,

I wrote "dubig" a while. Finds all files/dirs in the tree with more
than the specified number of digits of 1K blocks. To find all files
or dirs 1000K or bigger I type:
% dubig 4

for 100,000K or bigger:
% dubig 6

It basically does:
du -ck | grep -E "^[0-9]{n,}"

See:

Nice. You can get rid of awk:

alias bigfiles='find . -ls |sort -rn -k7 |head -10'

Usually, I just use this for the current dir:

alias sizes='du -s * .[a-zA-Z0-9]* -c |sort -n'

Here's a fancier one, cli bar graph included:

alias bars='du -x --max-depth=1|sort -rn|awk -F / -v c=$COLUMNS '"'"'NR==1{t=$1}NR>1{r=int($1/t*c+.5); b="\033[1;31m"; for (i=0; i<r; i++) b=b"#"; printf " %5.2f%% %s\033[0m %s\n", $1/t*100, b, $2}'"'"'|tac'

Cheers.

I like using find command, it’s quicker than du.

I used to use `du -hl <various>` a lot until I found `ncdu` which is a curses-based CLI tool. The awesome part is that it walks the tree first, then you can navigate around instantly, to see what's what. It's in the repos for Debuntu-like systems.

`man ncdu` and see "-x" and "--exclude-caches" also.

If that doesn't work, here are some other clues:

http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu/

* gt5 - Quite similar to ncdu, but a different approach.

* tdu - Another small ncurses-based disk usage visualization utility.

* TreeSize - GTK, using a treeview.

* Baobab - GTK, using pie-charts, a treeview and a treemap. Comes with GNOME.

* GdMap - GTK, with a treemap display.

* Filelight - KDE, using pie-charts.

* KDirStat - KDE, with a treemap display.

* QDiskUsage - Qt, using pie-charts.

* xdiskusage - FLTK, with a treemap display.

* fsv - 3D visualization.

* Philesight - Web-based clone of Filelight.

I often use "du -sh ./*" to see what directory in a webspace uses the

most space. This will list the size of each directory you are in in

human readable format. If you want something fancier let me know. I

can probably point you in the right direction.

Looking for good command line tools for assaying disk usage. I'd

like to be able to crawl the disk down to an arbitrary depth and

output the size of each directory. I don't really want to write too

much bash in the process! Any good goto tools you could share?

Later,

JP
