Example to list all files in /usr which are bigger than say .. 2MB, you can run ..

# cd /usr
# find . -size +2000000c

Also look for core files ..

# find . -name core

Hi:

It's much better and faster to use du and sort in reverse numerical order to find large directories and then drill down.

du -k /usr | sort -n -r | pg

Hi,

Try this:

# cd dir_path
# du -k | sort -rn

This will list you the biggest files/directories in Kbytes.

Also you can try find command:

# find . -xdev -size +10000 -exec ll {} \; > /tmp/bigfiles


HTH,

If you have anything mounting below /usr you can restrict du with -x

du -akx | sort -nr | more

This will keep output to the /usr FS only.

Hi Subhashni,

Try this,

cd /usr
du -k .

You can sort this output. Check for log files not cleared. You may have huge log files.

Look for core files,

find /usr -name core -exec ll {} \;

Remove core files from /usr,

find /usr -name core -exec rm {} \;

Hope this helps.
