Hello,

How can I find what is filling up my root filesystem???

du -h --max-depth=1 is not enough

Thanks

What do you mean by "not enough"?

Code: Select all

du --max-depth 1 -x -m / | sort -n

Takes too long and shows many mount points that do not belong to /

You need to run it as root. You did this, right?

Did not try with -x, will try in a bit.

The command seems to work pretty well, thanks.

And something with find?

For example, finding big files created in the last 24 hours in /???

Thanks

Not sure about the "24h", but something like:

Code: Select all

find / -xautofs -xdev -mtime -1 -size +1G -ls

The find command also takes -mmin $mins
