This article mainly introduces "how to find large files and large directories in the Linux system". In daily operation, I believe that many people have doubts about how to find large files and large directories in the Linux system. Xiaobian consulted all kinds of materials and sorted out simple and easy-to-use methods of operation. I hope it will be helpful to answer the doubts of "how to find large files and large directories in the Linux system." Next, please follow the editor to study!

Find large files

Eg: find files greater than 10MB in the current directory

The code is as follows:

$find. -type f-size + 10000k-exec ls-lh {}\; | awk'{print $8 ":" $5}'

Sample output:

. / .kde / share/apps/akregator/Archive/http___blogs.msdn.com_MainFeed.aspx?Type=AllBlogs.mk4: 91M

. / out/out.tar.gz: 828M

. /. Cache/tracker/file-meta.db: 101M

. / ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso: 700M

. / vivek/out/mp3/Eric: 230M

List the files with a file size less than 500b in the home directory:

The code is as follows:

$find $HOME-size-500b

OR

The code is as follows:

$find ~-size-500b

List the files with a size of 20 512-byte blocks in the root directory:

The code is as follows:

# find /-size 20

Find the large directory under Linux

For example, sometimes the disk space alarm, and you usually neglect to manage and monitor the growth of files, then I need to quickly know which directories have become larger, then we can use the du command to help us solve this problem.

The code is as follows:

[root@getlnx01 U03] # du-h-max-depth=1

16K. / lost+found

33G. / flash_recovery_area

37G. / oradata

70G.

If you want to know which large folders are under the flash_recovery_area directory, you can max-depth=2 the parameter, and if you want to sort the search results, you can use the sort command. As shown below

The code is as follows:

[root@getlnx01 u03] # cd /

[root@getlnx01 /] # du-hm-- max-depth=2 | sort-n

Sometimes there are too many search results (for example, I start from the root directory) and I have been brushing the screen all the time. What if I only want to find the top 12 folders? At this point, it is time to use the head command to display

At this point, the study on "how to find large files and directories in the Linux system" is over. I hope to be able to solve your doubts.
