2.16.3. Disk space analysis

You can analyze disk space using:

• Console commands
• Filemanager (using the button for displaying catalog sizes in the toolbar).
• Detailed information on disk space

Byconnecting to hosting via SSH, you can conduct a detailed analysis disk space using the commands below.

In commands:

• To search not within the entire hosting account, but within a specific directory, specify the path to this directory instead of ~.
• Instead 5 you can specify the number of files / directories to be shown in the results.

To see the five largest catalogs, run the command:

du -smh ~/* | sort -rh | head -n 5

To see the five largest directories, including subdirectories, run the command:

du -Sh ~ | sort -rh | head -n 5

To see the five largest files and largest subdirectories in a given directory, run the command:

du -sh ~/way/to/catalog/* | sort -rh | head -n 5

To see five largest files, run the command:

find ~ -type f -exec du -Sh {} + | sort -rh | head -n 5

To see the five subdirectories of the current directory that take up the most inodes, run the command:

find . -xdev | cut -d "/" -f 2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n 5

To see five directories occupying the most inodes, including subdirectories, run the command:

find . -xdev -printf '%h\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -k 1 -nr | head -n 5

To see number of inodes occupied by the contents of the current directory (including subdirectories), run the command:

find . | wc -l
