Weblog entry #7 for nicc777

One liner: top ten largest files...

Posted by nicc777 on Thu 16 Mar 2006 at 14:01

Tags: none.

In general, excluding anything in a *bin* directory:

# find / -type f -ls | sort -k 7 -r -n | grep -v '/bin' | head

Then, to really only exclude executables:

# find / -type f -not -perm -g=x,-o=x -ls | sort -k 7 -r -n | head

and obviously to check the largest executable files:

# find / -type f -perm -g=x,-o=x -ls | sort -k 7 -r -n | head

Have fun

Thanks for these good commands! But note that your first query will miss any files whose names start with bin (e.g. bindresvport.o).

You can fix this (and use a shorter pipeline) if you change the expression to look like this:

# find / -type f ! -wholename '*/bin/*' -ls | sort -k 7 -r -n | head

Thanks - this is a very good fix.
