Hi all,
I use this command to see disk usage:
du -cks * | sort -rn | while read size fname; do for unit in k M G T P
E Z Y; do if [ $size -lt 1024 ]; then echo -e
"${size}${unit}\t${fname}"; break; fi; size=$((size/1024)); done; done
The data itself is around 200GB with lots of subdir and small files.
The command takes for about 1 hour to finish.
Is there a faster way to see the disk usage of some directories?
Secondary objective is:
To see which directories have changes (added/remove subdir/files)
comparing to the previous data. I'm thinking of using "ls -laR" and
"diff". But not sure.
Thank you.
