Script to report user storage

[Coolmar]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a script out there that will report (therefore probably a perl script) the amout of storage each user is taking up on the system? I am certain there would be something out there but I can't find anything.

Thanks!

This becomes quite is easy, if you have implemented quotas on your system, else, you will have to find files/dirs owned by users and then calculate space used.-this is going to be cpu consuming task.

If you are looking at just the home dirs,

# cd /home
# du . -ka | sort -nr | more

The will report file sizes and sort into ascending order (biggexst to smallest)

No, I want more than "home" and I want output in the form of a report:

UserID Space Used

xxxxx 3456000Kb

That type of thing. I do not have quotas. I have seen something that does this nicely in the past, but just can't find it.

Thanks for the responses

Something as follows.

ll -R /FS | grep user1 | awk '{size+=$5} END {printf "%d\n", "user", size}'

you can use find, but be carefull this can hog CPU.

find /FS_to_search -user user1 -exec ll -d {} \; | awk '{size+=$5} END {printf "%d\n", "user", size}'

No such script exists by default. This would need to be created.

Without quotas, you'll have to search for all user's files in the system. Implementing quotas in your system will be the erfect solution.
