=>I have a need to determine the amount of space used in a particular folder,
=>but don't really want to use du because of the beating my RAID array takes.
=>(Usually 6 hours or so on a RAID 5 for a folder with about 350GB of data)  Are
=>there any other similar tools out there that don't require smacking around my
=>hard drives to get the data and don't take hours to run?

Besides du, you might look into configuring quotas.
