Hello all
I want to find the files that are consuming more space in the server, the question is? Do you know a command that let me find the largets files in the system? Thanks in advance.

Regards!

du -k /dir | awk '$1>20000' | sort -nr

will find all files in directory /dir which are > 20k and sort in descending order. CaKiwi

try

find / -type f -size +3000 -exec ls -l {} \; | pg

3000 is 512 byte blocks just divide by 2 to give you MEG
so 3000/2 is 1500 find files size 1.5MB or greater in specified filesystem / or one stated.
