cd /
du -hsx *
-h "Human-readable" output. Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte,
Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte
-s Display an entry for each specified file. (Equivalent to -d 0)
-x File system mount points are not traversed.
Look for the largest directly, cd into that and repeat until you get down
far enough to find the offender.
Works for me...
