How to find out the top ten space consuming files in aix?
As a system admin, daily we are facing the disk utilization for the
root and non root filesystems. At that time we need to find out the highly
utilized files and based on the confirmation we proceed with housekeep.
If we receive /var filesystem utilizing above the threshold limit,
we need to use the below command to find out the highly space consuming
files.
find /var -xdev -ls|sort +6rn|head -20
What the command will do?:
The command is really very very useful to find out top 20 high
space consuming files under /var. The command check all the directory and
sub-directory of /var and find out the highly space consuming files and display
it. You can find out the file size on the 6th column and the files are list out
in reverse order which means highly space consuming files are list out in
first.
Note: please
change the filesystem name on the second place of the command according to you.
