Ah, a sort of graphical df + du functionallity (using df and du from the
command line is really more useful, esp. with other CLI tools like
sort, and head:
du -sk sometoofullfilesystem/*|sort -nr|head -10
is rather more usefull (to me anyway) than some pie chart. I suspect it
is also far faster than waiting for some elaborate grapical tool to
display pie charts (and is more useable should the file system in
question be the one the X server wants to use and can't if it becomes
100% full).
xdiskusage is a lightweight application which uses du to do the
scanning. The graphical display is exceptionally useful because you
can see at a glance the relative sizes of files/directories and the
file/directory names are displayed *in* their segments. I've tried
all of other suggestions in this thread and I think xdiskusage is far
better.
