List files from smallest to largest:
Code:
ls -l /path/to/dir | sort -nk5

Linux:
Code:
du -csh /path/to/dir/*

More General:
Code:
du -sk /path/to/dir/*

To clean up, you'll probably use find, maybe something like -
Code:
find /path/to/dir -type f -mtime +31 -exec rm -f {} \; -ls
find /path/to/dir -type f -mtime +10 -exec gzip -f {} \; -ls

If the argument is a directory, the entire b-tree under the directory is defragged. -s snapshot-name directory Creates a new snapshot of the directory specified. -S subvolume-name directory Creates a new subvolume. -r [+|-]size Resizes the filesystem with the size specified. If the value is preceded with a signed symbol, the filesystem is resized with respect to the current filesystem size. size can be suffixed by k,m or g to represent kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes respec- tively. -A device Scans the device for btrfs filesystem. -a Scans all devices present in the system for btrfs filesystem. -c Forces a filesystem sync. AVAILABILITY
btrfsctl is part of btrfs-progs. Btrfs is currently under heavy development, and not suitable for any uses other than benchmarking and review. Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for further details. SEE ALSO
