I know that it easy to use the 'du -a' and pipe the output to a check if it is a directory. But if you have a lot of files, it really matters if you touch a files twice. And this solution does not count the size of directories. find / -xdev -printf "%k\t%p%y\n" | sed 's/d$/\//;t; s/.$//;' | LC_ALL=C sort -rn -k1,1 I agree that a single letter option is maybe not needed, but a --dir-with-slash would be good.
