Code:
find /path -size +1048576 -exec ll {} \;
looks for about 500mb using blocks, 629145 ~ 300 MB

Thanks for the response... I went to my root and typed: find / -size +1048576 -exec 11 {} \;

And it didn't show any results... I was hoping I could find all of the files on the entire server for over 300MB and spit out the results. Thanks again!

This may have come from ZazzyBob at some point, but I've been using it for a while.


In Linux this example shows the 10 largest in /opt. Change /opt to suit.

find /opt -type f -printf "%k %p\n" | sort -rn | head -10
