Re: [aclug-L] Size of dir tree?

[Mohammad Islam <sohel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg,

On top of my head .. just glancing at the man page for du produced the
following

du -c -k -s /usr

du = disk usage

-c = total
-s = summarize
-k = gimme result in Kilobytes

/usr = the usr dir (replace it with your choice of dir)

(if your usr or var is mounted then df  will show you total, used and
available size of a partition) 

Hope this helps.

Later.

Besr,

Mohammed
