I was wanting to know hard drive usage..
For example
On my system the directory
with large usage is
/usr
root at libranet:/# du --max-depth=1 -h
512 ./.qt
3.3M ./bin
133k ./dev
14M ./etc
20M ./lib
512 ./mnt
512 ./opt
43k ./tmp
648M ./var
2.0G ./usr
1.6M ./boot
46M ./home
du: `./proc/1303/fd/4': No such file or directory
19k ./proc
3.7M ./sbin
170k ./root
512 ./cdrom
512 ./.mozilla
512 ./cdrom1
512 ./floppy
512 ./initrd
2.7G .
I think you didn't do your
du --max-depth=1 -h from the ROOT / directory
but, your home directory
Can you do it again??
This make any sense to you???
