Re: disk usage checking #2

["Jim" <jim berwynlibrary net>]

Woops... typo in that email.  I apologize.

The command to try is simply:

du -H --max-depth=1

It will scan through all sub directories in /home and output the size of
each in "human" format (Megabytes, gigabytes) and only display the top level
directory.  Example on one of my systems:

[jim staff /home]# du -H --max-depth=1
17k     ./lost+found
2.3G    ./jim
29k     ./aspseek
62k     ./spamd
4.1M    ./bumslut
1.4M    ./elwood
2.3G    .
[jim staff /home]#
