I think you've gotten some good ideas so far, including the --max-depth= option to restrict the depth of search, and another one that I use quite a bit on my home system is --exclude. I didn't see you mention it, but using --exclude you could tell 'du' to ignore the .snapshot directories and other stuff you know isn't the problem, or just want it to 'overlook'. Comes in handy when doing a 'du' on the / directory, otherwise du wants to tally up /proc... Eeek! HTH, Monte
