Disk space use

[schoolpride]

My ubuntu server is a 1.5T with 448GB available. When I backup my files each night, my files only amount to 397GB. Is there an easy way to see where the extra 600 GB on my server is located?

I think that I might have had a couple of old backups write to the server, but I cannot find them.

# cd /<1.5T mount point>

# du -sk * .* | sort -n

You might very well have made a backup while the backup device was not mounted.

Unmount any external devices and next run



sudo du -k --max-depth=1 /
