cd /
du -xh -d 2
will print out the usage stats for everything that is in the /-partition
(mount points are not traversed). If you want to see more that 2 levels,
you can modify the command appropriately.
I usually use
du -xh -d 2 | grep M
and
du -xh -d 2 | grep G
=20
to see directories that take more than 1 mega (giga) byte of space
(although these commands will print directories with an 'M' ('G') in
their names, too.
