Basically, my /usr is filing up and I wanted to located the large files or larger directories that are filling up the partition. I read somehwere in some FAQ or something that the command is something like this: du (some options) | sort (some more options) but I'm not sure exactly about what options to use. I have a feeling that I read this somwhere on one of the documentation found at freebsd.org but I just can't seem to find it again. Any pointers to that doucmentation would be awesome. I know I read it somewhere... Joey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
