  5. I've recently been struggling with disk space on one of my servers.

    "df" is showing all my disk space is gone but "du" is not finding any files that would amount to filling up the disk.

    Finally,, "lsof" reveals it is log files that has been rotated in a docker container but still are open (but marked deleted) 🤦‍♂️

    I could restart the docker containers at a regular interval to release the deleted files...

    But is there a better way to handle this?

  6. Display disk usage in GB on Linux: use du -sh --block-size=1G . (GNU/Linux) or du -sg . (macOS/BSD). Simplest universal method: du -sh . auto-scales to GB. For scripts: set export BLOCKSIZE=1G. #Linux #CommandLine #DiskUsage

  7. Related to several subjective performance checkpoints, my "upgrade" from the #Pixel4a (stock ROM) to the #Pixel8 (#GrapheneOS) was actually a downgrade.

    E.g., anything that scans the internal storage (#DiskUsage app) is slower. Panning the map in #OsmAnd+ is *much* slower. Starting up #RocketChat app is taking ages in comparison.

    I really wonder what has gone wrong here. 🤔

  9. Video review on #benchmark of #Kali #Linux 2024.02 youtu.be/019eJJgc9js. Curious why someone would choose #KaliLinux to run #Xfce when the #performance is so poor compared to Alpine Linux with Xfce. Also the 13GB of #DiskUsage is one of the highest of any #OperatingSystem #benchmarked so far.

  10. Falls hier jemand ist, der #Windows noch benutzt:

    Wie bekommt man denn da eine Liste der #Größe der #Verzeichnisse in einem Verzeichnis wie mit diesem Befehl:
    du -h | sort -h -r

    Oder gibts dafür ein Klickprogramm?

  11. GdMap

    INSTALL

    DESCRIPTION:

    GdMap is a tool which allows to visualize disk space. Ever wondered why your hard disk is full or what directory and files take up most of the space? With GdMap these questions can be answered quickly. To display directory structures cushion treemaps are used which visualize a complete folder or even the whole hard drive with one picture.

    Cushion treemaps display directories and files in rectangular areas. The larger a file is the larger is the rectangle which represents it. All files in one directory are painted within the rectangle of that directory.
