How to find what is using up root partition
by picklehead from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FNR5)
My root (/) partition is filling up. 93% now and I want to know how to find out what files or directories are responsible.
I ean a
# du -a / |sort -n -r |head -n 10 to find the top 10
It gives me a large directory( /cloud_dir) and a bunch of files in there that are pretty big.
The problem is that this /cloud_dir is a separate mount point in fact it's an NFS mount and as such has loads of space.
I need to find out what's chewing up space on my root mount point....if that makes sense.
TIA
