finding files bigger than 2G
find /base/directory -size +2048M > /tmp/tempfile


1] is there an option to specify the size in Gb
2] the output lists files with size such as:
1152157

(doing ls -l so I guess it is in bytes) So I am missing something here because this file has a size below 2 Gb.

Any hints??

thx.

ls -l | awk '{ s= $5/1073741824; if(s >= 2){print $0} }'

please see the man page of your find command and see if there is -size n[cwbkMG] option.
My version of find can specify -size in Gb, as stated in my man page.
