These are the 10 heaviest directories on the system,
ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-207:/$ sudo du -hs * | sort -nr | head -n10
360M lib
172M opt
172M boot
172K tmp
41M run
29G var
28M home
16M bin
16K lost+found
15M root
This is the disk usage,
ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-207:/$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev
tmpfs 396M 41M 355M 11% /run
/dev/xvda1 62G 60G 2.6G 96% /
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
It says that 60gb is filled. Most of the data is log data, which is clear from the du output. The heaviest directory is 30gb.
What I am not able to figure out is where is the rest of the 30gb being used? What am I missing?
head -n10, maybe you have some 14G folders ? See this. – pLumo Feb 26 '19 at 13:25duto report human-readable totals but not tellingsortabout it. change one or the other to get a clearer picture – Jeff Schaller Feb 26 '19 at 23:08
