The usual solution I use would be (starting in the root directory) "du -kx | sort -n". The x flag prevents crossing partitions when doing the recursive analysis that du is meant to do, while the k flag makes the output in kilobytes. I like this command enough that I have a shortcut to it in my .bashrc called "dk". Check the man page for du for other options if you want. Hope this helps.
