Folder Disk Usage
Today my server ran out of disk space. :( With the help of my friend Ed I was able to pin point the exact location. If you run this command from the root of your server:
[code]du -sh *[/code]
You will get something like the following:
[code]5.1M bin
4.0K boot
8.0K dev
5.3M etc
795M home
11M lib
0 lib64
16K lost+found
4.0K media
4.0K mnt
4.0K opt
0 proc
26M root
3.8M sbin
4.0K selinux
4.0K srv
0 sys
0 tmp
1.3G usr
2.4G var[/code]
Then you can start drilling down the folders until you find the exact culprit. In my case a log file had grown to 8 Gig in size.
