Try: # cd / # du -h -d 1 -I usr This should tell you how much space each file/dir is using in /, excluding, the 'usr'. Some of the other dirs are bound to be mounted filesystems, but ignore those. Exluding 'usr' just saves a lot of time, as `du' doesn't have to calculate that beast of a filesystem.
