Hello All,

I want to list disk usage of only subdirectories under a directory, but du shows all subdirectories, subdirectories and files under them as well.

Like the below:

[root@localhost Documents]# du -h
4.0K ./dumps/ccna
4.0K ./dumps/rhce
4.1M ./dumps
4.0K ./personal/music
4.0K ./personal/games
7.1M ./personal
5.1M ./books

But what I want is it should only show the totals of only, like below:

4.1M ./dumps
7.1M ./personal
5.1M ./books

Any ideas how to do that? The -S option does not help as per man page.

Try Linux, you'll love it for sure.

--max-depth=1

What you need is -s (lowercase s).

Try:

du -s *

This does not show result. The below warning comes.
du: warning: summarizing conflicts with --max-depth=1

I was trying the du -s and du -sh, but only thing I left was the *

Now, du -sh * did it!!

Thanks Broder and everyone!!
