How do I get Ubuntu's "Disk Usage Analyzer" to show me the hidden files?
It tells me my home dir uses 3GB, but only accounts for 525MB (the results of du -shc *). Can I get it to show me the other files that are using the space?
Some thing is using up a huge amount of my disk space about 10G and I can not determine what it is. When I look at my disk usage in system monitor it say I have used about 25G and when I scan the directory in disk usage analyzer the entire file system used is 15G.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running an Opensuse 11.2 system as a backup file server. Several external hard drives are attached via USB and mounted during boot via the fstab file. Recently, I noticed the df command showed the root partition being >65% full, while the du command showed the same drive was only about 20% full. After much investigation, I discovered that some large directories had been created under the /media folder on the root partition that were hidden when the external drives were mounted as directories with the same names under /media. I could only see this when I rebooted with a live CD and mounted the suspect partition without the external drives mounted. Is there a way to examine whether a mounted partition has existing files "hidden" when a separate file system is mounted "on top of it"?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my partitions being shrunk after VirtualBox PUEL 4.0.2 install. I tried VB OSE, loaded XP Pro and all necessary programs and realized it does not support sharing of folders. I then removed it and installed PUEL with XP Pro and all the same programs. The USB would not work in PUEL so I removed it and installed it as root to see if it would access the USB's. Halfway through the install it hung and gave me a space error.I cannot get the space back from whatever VB did. I deleted the .vdi's and all VM's and reinstalled VB PUEL to see if I could recover it. Nope. Then I tried GPARTED to try and reset whatever is reading the sizes incorrectly.sudo df -Th gives me:

I noticed on a couple of my friend's computers, the baobab with Fedora and Arch Linux was able to delete folders by right clicking on them. The Baobab with Ubuntu does not have that feature. I then looked at then obtained the source code and ran ./configure --help, and saw nothing about enabling that feature.

I'm running into a problem where my system is running out of disk space on the root partition, but I can't figure out where the runaway usage is. I've had a stable system for a couple of years now, and it just ran out of space. I cleaned some files up to get the system workable again, but can't find the big usage area, and I'm getting conflicting results.For example, when I do a df it says I'm using 44GB out of 58 GB:
Code:
[root@Zion ~]# df -h

I have a productive sever (very old, 1500 days without restart or software update, gentoo distro) and i have a weird disk usage there:

You see that on 'df' i have 67 GB on the disk and 2.6GB avaiable, but du is confirming only 33GB of usage. What uses the other 34GB ? I can't install fancy graphical disk usage programs there, is there any way I can find what is consuming the 34GB of disk using command line tools and standard linux programs? (like debugfs or something like that)
I am trying to get the total file size for certain files per directory.
I am using
find `pwd` /DirectoryPath -name '*.dta' -exec ls -l {} ; | awk '{ print $NF ": " $5 }' > /users/cergun/My Documents/dtafiles.txt
but this lists all the files in the directories.
I need the total per directory for all dta files.
I was trying to get the status of memory usage and disk usage using sigar in windows and ubuntu. done this in windows by just copying the sigar library into jdk library. But i was unable to do so in ubuntu. I've copied the library to java-6-sun library but still can't run the program.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem on my installation of Ubuntu 10.10: it shows 0kb space remaining in nautilus. When I delete files (also out of Trash) it shows there is again space, but within minutes this free space is full again. When I look in Disk Usage Analyzer it says there is 140 GB available and it is impossible that the complete partition of 190 GB is full. But I cannot save or download anything anymore and the system is not very responsive. So it seems to act as if the disk is completely full.

I want to copy all directories, files, and hidden files and hidden directories with one command. I want these items to replace any same items in the target directory.
I have tried several things, such as:
cp -r *
cp -aR *
but I only seem to get visible files and directories. Obviously, I am missing something. (A brain, probably....)
when we use the df command it list the disk usage list for all mounted files ..
#df -h
/dev/sda4 47G 34G 11G 78% /
varrun 1009M 120K 1009M 1% /var/run
[code]....
What should do? Or how to delete that I have 2 hidden in my PC?
I know nothing that's why please tell me detail if some one know about it?
how to list only hidden files in current directory ?

I am trying to get my head around my new server. I am using CENTOS 5.4 x86_64 with 300GB harddrive.
The 300 GB been partitioned with the following:
Device Size Used Available Percent Used Mount Point
/dev/md0 99M 18M 77M 19% /boot
/dev/md1 16G 8.7G 5.8G 61% /
/dev/md2 246G 40G 194G 18% /home
/dev/md3 4.8G 1.6G 3.0G 35% /var
/usr/tmpDSK 3.9G 432M 3.3G 12% /tmp
I have increased teh tmpDSK as it was getting full very quickly. My question is, what are these md0; md1, md2 and md3 are they harddrive partitions and as md1 is getting full will that have an impact on my sites.
I had Windows on my machine but I decided to try Ubuntu 11.04. I kept my partitions where I store music, movies and stuff and it is OK, I can open anything, but I can't open the files that were in a hidden folder. I see then, I can browse my Windows hidden directories, but I can't open the files!
View 15 Replies View RelatedI am using ubuntu 8.04 and have a separate home partition. While setting it up I had a few failures and was left with several directories containing many hidden files which I can't seem to delete. The man pages for 'rm' didn't seem to provide the answer either.
Is there a flag or escape sequence that will allow 'rm' to delete these files?
Is there a way to make the system display hidden files in the home folder when you open it? I know you can select "Show Hidden Files" in the view menu but having to do this every time you want to see or access hidden files and folders is annoying!

Trying to understand grep,sed,awk but maybe its too early for me and also i suspect iostat is not the correct program for exactly what i'm looking for...The goal is to print only the current read and write speeds of the disk, represented in a numerical value with two separated commands. So for example when writing a file to disk from an external disk, the value reflects the speed of the process.
"iostat -dk sda" prints
