I have a VPS which is a little starved for disk space. Long term plans call for moving to a system with a bigger disk but in the meantime I need to take a look at the existing disk use and clear up unnecessary stuff (e.g. old database dumps).
So far I've been using du -hc --max-depth=<n>
to look at directories like /var/www
and /home
, but this is a pretty intensive process and it's not always easy to pick up the depth that will spot the disk use. I'd like to find something like Disk Inventory X that will show me a nice graph of what's taking the space, and there are such tools for Linux, but is there one which will either run over SSH or get some data (maybe even from a big du
run) and visualize that offline?
