seraph741 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 for any1 that knows what windirstat is, i'm looking for a program that does something similar in linux. Basically its a program that makes it easier to visualize how much space everything on your hard drive takes up. I want to find out what is taking up so much space on one of my partitions, and i dont know of any easy way to do that other than with a program similar to windirstat. if any knows a program, or another method to solve my issue, let me know! TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Not sure... in Konqueror, there's a feature called "file size view" though... right next to where you'd normally choose 'detailed view/icon view' ... the icon right next to it should have an item called 'file size view'.

ianw1974 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 You can also use the du command, included an example from my system below: [ian@esprit ~]$ du Download | grep Atheros 3.4M Download/Atheros/acs 0 Download/Atheros/acu/manual/_overlay 0 Download/Atheros/acu/manual/_vti_pvt 0 Download/Atheros/acu/manual/_borders 305K Download/Atheros/acu/manual/_derived 0 Download/Atheros/acu/manual/_themes/online-help/_vti_cnf 0 Download/Atheros/acu/manual/_themes/online-help 0 Download/Atheros/acu/manual/_themes 0 Download/Atheros/acu/manual/images 698K Download/Atheros/acu/manual 1.5M Download/Atheros/acu 776K Download/Atheros/Driver only for WinXPWin2KWinMEWin98se 1.1M Download/Atheros/debug_athcfg11 6.1M Download/Atheros/Install_CD 392K Download/Atheros/linkmon 460K Download/Atheros/Driver only for WinNT4/5211 460K Download/Atheros/Driver only for WinNT4 17M Download/Atheros this is just a sample, but you get the idea.

papaschtroumpf Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Not sure what windirstat is but try filelight as root urmpi filelight yes filelight and the Konq file size views works great and show the info in 2 slightly different ways. I can;t remember the specifics but to get the filesize view in Konq I had to install something, like maybe one of the kdeaddon packages. That was a long while ago though. I personaly prefer the filelight view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Or krusader (dualpane filemanager for KDE), which has an "occupied space" submenu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 FSview is part of kdeaddons and works (as already mentioned) as a plugin to konqueror. There's also a pkg named, oddly enough, kdirstat. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
