find command

[hitesh567]

my .usr filesystem is 100% full. I need to find what big files are occupying the space is /usr. What arguments I need to use with find command..?

[Pete Randall]

find /usr/* |sort -n

The last files listed will be your largest ones.

Hey and welcome.

use this:

10 largest directories:
$ du -kx /usr | sort -rn -k1 | head -n 10

10 largest files:
$ find /usr -type f -xdev -print | xargs -e ll | sort -rn -k5 | head -n 10

Recently modified files :
$ find /usr -type f -xdev -mtime -1 -print | xargs ll | sort -rn -k5

Regards

p.s. as you are new in this forum, don't forget to assign points.
