[asterisk-users] running out of disk space

[Alexander Lopez]

You could use a find command and search for large files but that won’t help if there are many small files in a directory.

You can use du and pipe it into sort -n

du | sort -n | tail -1000 | more

that will give you the 1000 LARGEST directories. You can go from there....
