How to check the files increasing in drive

[trilok_pvp]

Hi

In HP unix server, the drive disk01 keep on increasing nearly 2 GB daily, Now its reached 91 %. How to check which directory files are creating up to date.

You can run "du -sk" on the mount point to give you a first level overview - maybe put this in cron and save the outputs for a few days to give you a feel for where the growth is occurring.

Example :-

cd /disk01
du -sk *

(look for directory /files has biggersize)

or

find /disk01 -xdev -type f -size +5000000c -exec ll {} \; | sort -nk 5

HTH,

Hi i tried with du -sk, but it gets hangs.

obelix:/>du -sk

Many folders and subfolders are in disk01, i need to check which folder files are creating.

It may well take a while. The du command has to search through all the files, adding up the sizes to give you a summary. Be patient.
