Disk usage (Mac OS 10.4)

H1tokori · #1 (**permalink**) 12-04-2005

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.

Try:

du -sk /Users/yourusername/

Hope that helps.

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