I use these all the time, so I need a cheatsheet of it. Thanks NixCraft. Source of information: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-find-the-largest-filesdirectories-on-a-linuxunixbsd-filesystem/ method 1 (just using find):

## Warning: only works with GNU find ## find /path/to/dir/ -printf '%s %p\n'| sort -nr | head -10 find . -printf '%s %p\n'| sort -nr | head -10 |
I got it from Nixcraft article here, so here is the source: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-find-the-largest-filesdirectories-on-a-linuxunixbsd-filesystem/ I mention this method in finding largest files articles (also sourced from above link): Largest Files It looks like this:

for i in G M K; do du -ah | grep [0-9]$i | sort -nr -k 1; done | head -n 11 |

alias dud='du -chd 1' alias dud2='du -chd 2' alias dud3='du -chd 3' alias dud4='du -chd 4' alias duds='du -chd 1 | sort -h' alias duds2='du -chd 2 | sort -h' alias duds3='du -chd 3 | sort -h' alias duds4='du -chd 4 | sort -h' |
Now on a system where -d doesnt work you need to use –max-depth instead:

alias dud='du -ch --max-depth 1' alias dud2='du -ch --max-depth 2' alias dud3='du -ch --max-depth 3' alias dud4='du -ch --max-depth 4' alias duds='du -ch --max-depth 1 | sort -h' alias duds2='du -ch --max-depth 2 | sort -h' alias duds3='du -ch --max-depth 3 | sort -h' alias duds4='du -ch --max-depth 4 | sort -h' |
