du -sh or du -ch are more useful than raw du. The -x option can be helpful in some cases as well. > Shame `du' won't give any percentages at all. If you want percentage of the entire partition, grab a calculator and divide by the size of the partition. If you want percentage of the amount used by the system, grab a calculator and divide by the total space used.
