You can also check the inode number of a file or a directory, using the stat commands:. No comments yet linux. Generally, the ratio of inodes is KB of system capacity.
Obviously, every system is different, so you need to do that math for yourself. There is good news for those of you who are math averse: "There's a command for that. We can also look at the inode number of a specific file.
To do this, we use the ls -i command on the desired file. For example:. Just like with files, we can also see the inode of a directory. To do this, we use the ls -i command again with a few additional options.
You can see that we used -i inodes as well as -l long format and -d directory. Inodes are a great place to start if you are interested in learning more about filesystems and their structures. How the smallest units of data are labeled and indexed is important information to know. Some far more advanced operations can be done concerning inodes. For example, you can open an inode and read the contents on the file.

If you remove the -s it will "drill down" for you and save a lot of time. OrangeDog that will list every file recursively, which makes it a bit hard to see which directories are contributing the most. You normally don't have to go too many directory levels deep until you find the culprit in my experience so it doesn't take long.
JonoB that's what the sort is for. You get exactly the information as manually repeating it at every step, except much quicker. OrangeDog each leaf directory will be listed when -s is not specified.
