cd /home
find . -mtime 15 -print

[Muthukumar_5]

du -k /home/* | sort -nrk1 | more

will give it.

cd /home/
touch 200511010000 newfile
find . -type f -newer newfile -exec ls -l {} \+

will give it.

sorry for prev. reply which gives system usage.

I think Muthu's first answer is actually a better idea than deleting the newest files - do you know for certain that the newest files aren't needed?

Look at the most heavily loaded directories and see what can go.

Hi Yogi ,

1.
# cd /home ; find . -mtime 15 -exec ls -l {} \; > out.txt

2.
# cat out.txt | sort +4 -5nr > out1.txt

So out1.txt will have all the files after 01 Nov , and as per their size.

Cheers,
Raj.

Since /home is controlled by users, often casual users that do not manage their disk space, you may find that just a few directories that need help. Don't be tempted to find big files because you'll miss large directories with thousands of junk files. Use this to analyze /home:

du -kx /home | sort -rn | head -20
