Hello all,
I have a directory filling up. I need to determine the size of the files in the directory. How do I do that, what command should I run when I am in the directory?
Next question, can I expand the partition size?
du -k -a | sort -n
Or
find . -type f | xargs du -k | sort -n
What platform are you on?
What is your filesystem?
Do you have unallocated disk space?
Sorry, Solaris 8.
And I am not positive about unallocated disk space yet. I am taking over for someone that put this server together and I am unsure the configuration.
Well, there is growfs(1M) but whether you can use it or not depends on your disk layout. Actually, I don't know if growfs is even available on Solaris 8 
List files from smallest to largest:
ls -l /path/to/dir | sort -nk5
Linux:
du -csh /path/to/dir/*
More General:
du -sk /path/to/dir/*
To clean up, you'll probably use find, maybe something like -
find /path/to/dir -type f -mtime +31 -exec rm -f {} \; -ls
find /path/to/dir -type f -mtime +10 -exec gzip -f {} \; -ls
komputersman,
I found this sticky on this forum, think you might find it useful:

You are all awesome, thank you for the help.
I need to find out what drive this directory is on, such as hda3 or hda4, what command would tell me that? fdisk -l tells me my drives but not whats on them directory wise?
Thank you.
It's the first column in the output of:
df -k /path/to/dir
-c
Awesome, this helped.
Thank you
