RE: Find Big Files or Big Directories




I have 2 disks that syncs every night. The problem occurs with /dev/sdb1.

*Output of df -h*

/dev/sdb1 224G 197G *17G 93%* /
[SNIP]
Output of the command du -m /var/www/Nuxeo | sort -n | tail -15
[SNIP]
15559 . ß I don't know why only 15GB is reported..

the `du` command does not account for hidden files or directories unless
then are within a nested dir.

Try `du -shc /var/www` for the actual usage by the 'www' dir. Also look
for hidden files in the 'Nuxeo' dir, this may account for the "missing"
files.

Just did. /var reports 17GB.

I launched the command in / just to see.
