Is there a way to find out how the space is being used up in a filesystem? like if I want to know which directories/files are taking up the most space. There must be an app out there that does this....

have you allready tried 'du' and 'df'?
use -h to get human-readable output (and 'man du' for more info of course ;)

didn't know about du, that seems to do what I want but not in a very usable way. I'll have a play with it. :) Ta
