How to list file space usage estimate (du), SPECIFIED BY RANGE
 
Morning,

My server disk storage is running out. I know I can see all sub dir disk usage using du -h. But the outcome of this command is too lengthy because there are a lot of subdir under my parent dir.

I just want to specifically list all subdir under a dir, with dir size greater than 5M, maybe. Is this possible?

Thx,
Tsi Lok

du -kh | sort -nr | less

du -h --max-depth=1

1. cd into the dir.
2. du -sh *

This doesn't show hidden files, so
du -sh .*
to show them. Notice the dot(.)?

Dear all,

Thx for the solutions but all are still unable to allow me to filter the outcome by size. Anyway, your solutions have eased my work.

Thx a bunch =)

This should do the trick:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
min=$(( 1024*1024*5 )) # this is 5 MB
du -sb "$@" | while read size path ; do
        [ ${size} -gt ${min} ] && echo -e "${size}\t${path}"
done
Put this into a file called - for example - sizeme.sh, make it executable with chmod +x sizeme.sh and call it like this:
Code:
sizeme.sh /home/foo/*
