vdiskuse - to view folder size.

Hi,

Does Fedora or the VPS SSH have a command similar to vdiskuse. It helps to find out how much space is being used in each of the directories on the server so yo can track dow growing log files and such.

Hi there,

Try something like:

du -h --max-depth=XX where XX is the number of levels down you want to see information about.

So for example... starting in your /home directory...

cd /home
du -h --max-depth=10

Would show you the space used by each folder under /home up to 10 levels deep.

If it's scrolling by too fast where you can't see the results, you can tell the command to write it to a file with:

du -h --max-depth=10 > results.txt

From there, you can read the text file at your leasure to see the space used.

Hope this is along the lines of what you're looking for.
