A command to find the biggest directories in the / file system:
Code:
find / -xdev -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -exec du -skx {} + | sort -k1,1n

The following has no precise space count but ensures to not enter other filesystems:
Code:
find / -depth -xdev -ls | awk '{ cnt+=int($7/1024); if (split ($11,A,"/")==3) { print cnt, $0; cnt=0 } }' | sort -k1,1n

I made sure that ls /var/run/mysqld is empty, and df /var/run/mysqld is on /
Code:
Filesystem           1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_sugar-lv_root
                      51475068 50220120         0 100% /

Code:
find / -xdev -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -exec du -skx {} + | sort -k1,1n
51164   /root/sugarcrm_full-2014-01-29T01-30-01.sql
77020   /root/sugarcrm_sqldump_2014_07_08.sql

687556  /usr/lib64
1062204 /var/lib
13812205161     /mnt/backup

Is it normal for /mnt/backup to show? I thought -x in xdev would exclude external file systems?

Code:
df /mnt
Filesystem           1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_sugar-lv_root
                      51475068 50220300         0 100% /

Code:
find / -depth -xdev -ls | awk '{ cnt+=int($7/1024); if (split ($11,A,"/")==3) { print cnt, $0; cnt=0 } }' | sort -k1,1n

I've attached find.txt to this message with the output.
