du command

I was finally able to harness the power of the du command. The -s flag has a cryptic definition in the man page (nothing new for man there). But using the -s flag allows you to summarize the file size for directories.


This command will give you a summary of the directory sizes in root. You can of course target down to other folders like so

Often I need to sort the output by size. Here you go.
