Date: 2008sep27 OS: Linux Language: bash Q. My root partition is nearly full how can I tell what's taking up the root? If I do "du /" I get things that are not in the root partition A. I use this small script (called root_du) to filter out directories that are not in the root partition:

#!/bin/sh DISK=`df / | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}'` for I in /*; do if df $I | grep -q $DISK; then du -sh $I fi done
