I'd try that first, and if it didn't find my space, then flame graphs.
du's output does the first level of directories, but not subdirectories, and also requires reading of text rather than visually comparing line lengths (easier).
- foxhop 10y agoYou can quickly move toward the problem and continue to run 'du'.
- brendangregg 10y agoIf I'm at the command line already, that may well work. Or, it may not (the initial problem I had, I already knew the high level breakdowns, and was hunting for wasted 1%'s here and there -- the flame graph made it easy to spy everything at once). Another use of the flame graph approach is with automated build software. Imagine automatically generating one with every linux version, to keep track of where growth is.
