How to list the directories of a filesystem by their sizes?

[joaotelles]

Hi,

This a direct and newbie question...I want to know if there is any command in solaris that you can list the directories of a specific (like /) filesystem by their sizes....

Tks,

du -k /var | sort -n will list all subdirs of the /var filesystem including their size in units of 1024 bytes sorted by size.

This will give the top 25 directories in a system by size...

du -kod / | sort -rn | head -25

See the man page for "du" for what the options do.

If you want to print their ranking too...

du -kod / | sort -rn | head -25 | nl

Tks a lot it works smoothly...
