Hi,
Just my 2 cents.
first: I'm sure you remember that even if you find a huge file and remove it, the
space it occupies will not be available IF the file is still open. I had a /var file
system full some time ago and it was /var/log/messages that was HUGE. Removing it
didn't help until I recycled syslogd.
second: Here's a function in my .bashrc that I use recursively on a filesystem
that's getting close to being full. It's VERY helpful to me and I don't have
to type a lot. :-)
dus ()
{
echo $sorttmp $sortmem;
case $# in
0)
/usr/bin/du -xs -- .??* * 2> /dev/null | sort -k1nr | more
;;
*)
/usr/bin/du -xs -- $* 2> /dev/null | sort -k1nr | more
;;
esac
}
George...
