xdiskusage
is a graphical tool for displaying disk usage per directory. It’s kind of an ancestor to the more desktop oriented tool baobab
and filelight
.
One terrific feature for sysadmin of xdiskusage
is that it can use a du
output file as data source !
First generate an output file on the host to analyse (here foobar-host1) :
# du -ab * > du_foobar-host1.txt
rsync
the du
output file on your desktop machine, then make a:
# xdiskusage du_foobar-host1.txt
