Find Big Files or Big Directories

[Maxime Alarie]

Good day,

 

I have Ubuntu 9.1 with no UI.

 

I am just back from vacations, and I have noticed  on one of my server that the a  disk pretty much filled up in a week.    I looked around and I think there is a bug in the way the diskspace is reported by df. After a little investigation, the problem seems to related to /var/www

 

I have 2 disks that syncs every night.   The problem occurs with /dev/sdb1.

 

Output of df -h

 

/dev/sdb1          224G  197G   17G  93% /

udev                  994M  228K  994M   1% /dev

none                  994M     0  994M   0% /dev/shm

none                  994M   18M  977M   2% /var/run

none                  994M     0  994M   0% /var/lock

none                  994M     0  994M   0% /lib/init/rw

/dev/sda1             224G  155G   58G  73% /backup

 

 

 

 

Output of the command  du -m  /var/www/Nuxeo | sort -n | tail -15

The disk usage seems to be reported  more than once. (see bold text)

2394    ./server/default/log

12912   ./server/default/data/NXRuntime/binaries (binaries contains only the data folder)

12912   ./server/default/data/NXRuntime/binaries/data

12933   ./server/default/data/NXRuntime

12945   ./server/default/data

15526   ./server

15526   ./server/default

15559   . ß I don't know why only 15GB is reported..

 

 

Any help is welcome.

 

regards
