Disk usage (Mac OS 10.4)
I'd like to know a simple way to find how much disk space my account is using on my computer, I was using "mdfind "kMDItemFSOwnerGroupID == '502'" | du -ch"

but then I realized that it didn't change for 501 or 503, any help would be appreciated.

Go to finder, hit "apple + I" to get volume info
Hope that helps.

You'll get in the info for the volume if you highlight your hard drive in finder with that command.

This is also good advice if you'd like to use the GUI.
