Disk usage per user in Linux / Unix
Is this a one time thing, or is this information you want to be able to extract regularly? In case it is the later then one option is to apply quotas on your filesystem. Doing that the system continuously keeps track of the amount of data used by each user. That way the information is … Read more
Ubuntu root drive running out of space, I can’t find source through du or lsof
Well, it’s only a guess but it may works: I think that user once forget to mount /dev/sda1 as /media/DATA and all data was written on /dev/sdb2 instead of /dev/sda1. To check this, please, unmount /media/DATA and check files and folders under this path.
Ubuntu – /usr is full up, recommend anything in there I can delete?

Best method to track folder size growth over time?
WatchDISK does exactly that — shows directory sizes over time. WatchDISK’s big brother, PA Storage Monitor does that plus more (besides tracking just directory sizes, it can tell you who the largest storage users are, where the MP3s are, etc).
How do I install Disk Cleanup on Windows 2012 server without installing the Desktop Experience?
“Disk Cleanup” only requires 2 files to work (together, less than 260KB) “cleanmgr.exe” for your platform, and a “cleanmgr.exe.mui” for your locale. They are already on your machine in sub-folders under “%SystemRoot%\WinSxS”. First, search under the “%SystemRoot%\WinSxS” folder for “cleanmgr.exe”. You will likely find files in the “amd64”, “wow64”, and “x86” folders. I chose “amd64” … Read more
After deleting a large file, how long does it take `df` to pick up the change?
It sounds like the file is still open by some process. You’ll need to restart that service for the disk space to be freed.
how to set up monit to monitor disk-space

A typical disk check stanza would look like: check device var with path /var if SPACE usage > 80% then alert That basically will send an email … Read more
