2 commands are particularly useful:

df -H --output=size,used,avail

du -a /media/jack | sort -n -r | head -n 10
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

example:

sudo du -a /usr | sort -n -r | head -n 10
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Hope this helps !

Hey 👋🏼

This looks like a good post here. Can you share this in full on DEV?

DEV generally asks that folks share their posts in full if possible and there is tooling provided to make it so that it's relatively easy to repost from outside blogs.

Hope you'll consider sharing the full post going forward.
