As long as you're doing a du of everything -- when looking for disk hogs (wasn't that what we were talking about initially?), you need to know the exact directory. I find GNU du's --separate-dirs option the most useful approach.
The summary could be useful to see how usage changes over time, I guess, though. On another diskfull front: frontend's disk has been 100% full for a while, for the same reason as before. I'm wasting my time dealing with it again. Can nagios be configured to send a report, say, hourly when any partition is, say, >98% (= requires action)? If not, a trivial shell script that just runs df would do the job. K
