Hi, Anyone
Before we left for the Christmas holiday, I powered down my FC4 box. (My wife is paranoid that way.) KDiskFree showed my root partition a bit over 50% full. Within hours of starting it up again a few days ago, it was pushing 100%, and I haven't been able to find the culprit. The file system is reiserfs (I installed FC4 over an old SuSE distro), if that makes a difference. Has anyone run into this? Is there a tool I can use to report the space occupied by each folder, to try to identify the cause? I've deleted some old stuff from /var and /tmp, but that only recovered about 350 mB; I'm still missing some 5 gig.
   Cheers,

I have a little script in the path for root which I call dirsize.

# cat dirsize
du -sm $(find $1 -type d -maxdepth 1 -xdev) | sort -gr

You may find this useful.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
