Others have pointed out du and xdu, but have missed the possibility that you have a file system mounted on /usr. I prefer "du -xa /usr | sort -rn > /tmp/usr.space" That lists all the files on /usr and how big they are. For directories, it lists the size of the everything in the directory. Then sort it so the biggest things are at the top of the list, which makes pruning easy. If you'd rather use xdu, the same thing works. =09<mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org>=09=09=09http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?=09=09A: Tell them your plans.
