Dear managers,

thanks for the overwhelming response again. Most suggested to use

cd /
du -sk * | sort -n

to get a sorted list of directories with the disk usage printed in 
kBytes. Well, this raises a question. I got the following response.

0       net
0       vol
1       bin
1       createAccounts
1       export
1       fastboot
1       lib
1       log
1       mnt
1       prefs_v3
8       lost+found
9       devices
9       xfn
13      GNUstep
25      CIFS
301     dev
544     tmp
752     nohup.out
1227    BlobService
2739    etc
7901    sbin
20672   core
20726   kernel
27250   platform
44082   Library
83121   Stuff
121388  ApplicationsNew
155857  Applications
255645  var
1988318 usr
2283770 home
5328118 opt
7010699 proc

17671273        snap


snap is a mounted dir from an external nfs server, so it does not 
count. Summing the output makes me think that about 16 GBytes are in 
use. By the way, what is stored in /proc? I have a 40 GByte hard disk 
and

bash-2.03# df -b
Filesystem              avail
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0     9185298
/proc                       0
fd                          0
mnttab                      0
swap                  1421736
swap                  1421736

reports that only 9 GBytes are still available. Where are the remaining 
15 - 20 GBytes? Any ideas or am I misinterpreting the figures?

Regards,

    Andreas
