It' easy to find out in which file system a given directory is:
$ cd /boot
$ df -h
File System Size Used Avail Mountpoint
/dev/sda1 28G 14G 13G 52% /
Oops, /
is fuller than expected.
But the usual suspect is relatively tame today:
$ du -sh /boot
124M /boot
So what else is consuming 14G?
Is there a simple way to find out what other directories consume space in that filesystem?
Regarding the "possible duplicate": The typical application of the disk space analyzer type most other questions are after will exacly not answer my question, because it will just recurse thru all the subfolders of /
in my case and exactly leave out the information I look for.
ncdu
an answer and explain the-x
so I can accept it.du 'whatever options} | sort -n
gives the answer. On Linux, "filelight" si a great utility of this (like ncdu, but prettier, and will also work on remote FS thru SSH).du -h -d 1 | sort -h
. Little stroke for a character, but huge step for sorting.
