Hi Gregor. You can use the 'du' command: $ du -sk /usr 1867575 /usr
This will tell you the sum total size of all files in all subdirectories of /usr, in kilobytes (on my system, 1867575 kB, or about 1.87 gigs). If you want the number in megabytes instead, use 'du -sm /usr'. The -s option tells du to report just the total in /usr; if you want it to give you a list of the numbers for all its subdirectories (i.e. /usr/bin, /usr/local, /usr/local/bin ...), omit the '-s'; use 'du -k' or 'du -m'. Type 'man du' for more details. Hope this helps :) Aaron On Mon, 5 Mar 2001, Gregor Kaleta wrote: > How can I view the size of a spezial directory e.g. /usr? >
