Simple Question - How much space is a dir taking up?
 
Its a simple request... but df only seems to tell me the entire hard drive... I just want to know what /home/username/subfolder/folder is taking up. Simple thing I just never realized I didnt know how to do :)

Thanks.
Will

Run du command.

Code:
cd /home/me/you
du -ch

It will usually report whatever size you set your inode block size to be during the initall format and partitioning.. ;)

Standard is 4096 size inodes and blocks.. so it'll probably report 4k being used..
