'du /var' will show the sizes in each subdirectory of /var. To sort by size, from smallest to largest, do: du /var | sort -n If you have other filesystems mounted below /var, ie; /var/mail or something, you will want to add the -x switch to 'du' to keep it on the /var filesystem > is this about 337MB? > /dev/wd1s1e 345695 318075 -35 100% /var Your filesystem is 337MB, yes. The "Avail" and "Capacity" numbers actually reflect a slightly smaller size, because a certain portion of each filesystem is reserved for root's use. That's why it says it's at 100% capacity when you've used 318075K on a 345695K filesystem. You actually do have a little bit of extra free space that only root can use.
