Max size directory
Hi
I know that a perticular direxctory is cosuming max space .

Code:
 
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
nfsfi02:/vol/fivol2/Dir2/dir
                     104857600  92671400  12186200  89% /fs/dir

I want to know which sub directory is consuming max space in this problematic directory /itf/ude

Any command please?

I wasn't aware that directories had a "max space" beyond the filesystem running out of blocks or inodes.

You can try using du -sh *. When you find the sub-directory, you can cd into that and do the same, until you find the one you're after.

Test it on a location with few files to see if it works.
You can try to send du to a file and then look at it.
Eks
Code:
du -m /fs/dir1 >size.txt
