How do I show size of all directories on a drive?

[aaron]

I would like a listing of all the subdirectories on a drive and how big they are (in MegaBytes). Is there a native bash command that will do this, or a console program that will do it?

man du
man df

Not near my linux box right now (it's at home)... so one dumb question is burning unawnsered in my mind.....

Will these commands show the size of the individual directorys or the entire partition (i.e. free space)?

Thanks for helping

To get a list of the size of a directory use "du -hs <dir>" Eg:

$ du -hs /home
167M /home

It looks like DU is just what the doctor ordered. Its amazing how many handy commands are hidden within Linux!

Thanks guys.
