what is using up file system space

[nabob1]

Can anyone give me a command or script to probe what is using up file system space regarding user, size, date and any pertinent information, thanks.

using the find command will give you all the info required - have a look at the man page.
du will give you the disk usage per file / directory, again look at the man page

du -ak /scitex | sort -n -r | head -10

Display 10 biggest directories on the volume by size
------------------------------
find /scitex -xdev -size +2048 -ls|sort -rn +6|head -10

to find 10 top files in the root (/) directory larger than 1 MB.
”-xdev” helps searching ONLY in “/”
