-size n[cwbkMG]
File uses n units of space, rounding up. The following
suffixes can be used:
`b' for 512-byte blocks (this is the default if no
suffix is used)
`c' for bytes
`w' for two-byte words
`k' for Kilobytes (units of 1024 bytes)
`M' for Megabytes (units of 1048576 bytes)
`G' for Gigabytes (units of 1073741824 bytes)
The size does not count indirect blocks, but it does count
blocks in sparse files that are not actually allocated. Bear in mind
that the `%k' and `%b' format specifiers of -printf handle sparse files
differently. The
`b' suffix always denotes 512-byte blocks and never 1
Kilobyte blocks, which is different to the behaviour of -ls. The + and
- prefixes signify greater than and less than, as usual, but bear in
mind that the size is
rounded up to the next unit (so a 1-byte file is not
matched by -size -1M).

a better option would be:
find / -xdev -printf '%h\n'|sort|uniq -c|sort -n -k1
but note that this is going to take a long time.
