Disk Space Useage
My hard drive is getting full and I'm not entirely sure where all the data is going.
I'm trying to find a way to get the size of every directory. I don't want to know what the size of each indiviual file is (since there are hundreds of thousands of them, 500GB hard drive).
Basically I'd like a way of knowing how much is in the /home directory.
If there are 3 users in the home directory, the size of each of those subfolders. And basically go down the tree so I can figure out where all the space is going.
Again, I am not concerned with the individual files, just the directories and subdirectories.
This is a Linux Redhat 9, no GUI, and I would prefer to be able to do this without adding any new programs (my hard drive is getting full as it is ;) )

ASKER
That only gives me the immediate directories in /home, I need it to print also the subdirectories of all the directories in /home.
