redhat command to display the size of directory please!
 

Hi all,

So far, i always use "ll" or "ls" to list all the files+dirs under my current dir, but for dirs, the size are always "4096", which command can let me display also the exact size of the directory? So that i can know which dir is exhausting my disk space.
thanks in advance,

This should do it:
du -h --max-depth=1

Try using ' ls -lh ' within the directory.

hypexr & kristijan, thank you guys for the prompt replies.
the "du" command is obviously working, thank you very much.
good day,

Personally I also like xdiskusage a lot ...
(even though I usually use the du method ;})
