Find large files in a OSX or Linux

[Leon]

Sometimes it can be a bloody hell to find out whats eating up storage space on a linux machine...

Try this one out....

 

# find / -type f -size +20000k -exec ls -lh {} \; 2> /dev/null | awk '{ print $NF ": " $5 }' | sort -nrk 2,2

 

It will give you a list of files larger than 20mb, sorted by size... Enjoy!
