Search for big file size only in root fs
Hi all,
I'm working on Solaris and quite often I receive the alert message of file system at 90%.

I'd like to find which files caused this happens (at least the biggest files) with the following command:

Code:
find . -size +10000000c -exec ls -larth {} \;

This looks for every file in every fs ... I just want to check "/" fs or "/var/" etc...!

Any ideas?

Thank you very much for your support!

-xdev is the option you are looking for, it seems.

Code:
       
man find
.....
.....
-xdev  Don't descend directories on other filesystems.

Also, this could be a better version of finding 5 most biggest files:
Code:
find . -type f -exec ls -s {} \; | sort -n -r | head -5

du -a /var | awk '$1 > 1000000 { print }' <--- not 1megabyte rather any files found larger than "7" digits.
