Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Finding largest files takes too long Post 303018614 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 12th of June 2018 07:02:31 AM

If there are many many files, then any search trough them will take time, potentially a lot of time. If this is on a filesystems that is mounted over the network, then this time will be much greater. Far better to do the work when the disk really is.

Perhaps this may be slightly more efficient for you though:-
Code:
find . -type f -size +10000000c ! -name "*.gz" -ls | sort -bnk 7


Can you tell us more about what hardware you have?



Kind regards,
Robin
