I often want to know who there is a sudden growth disk usage over the last month/week/etc, what suddenly take space. In those cases I find myself wishing that du and friends would cache their last few runs and would offer a diff against them, this easily listing the new disk eating files or directories. Could dut evolve to do something like that?
- beepbooptheory 2y agodu[t] > .disk-usage-"`date +"%d-%m-%Y"`" And then use diff later?
- inbetween 2y agoAlmost all of them will have some difference. What is needed is to parse the previous state, calculate the difference in size, and show only the "significant" difference.
- thesh4d0w 2y agogt5 does this - https://gt5.sourceforge.net/ https://gt5.sourceforge.net/
- inbetween 2y agoThat looks perfect, thanks!
- namibj 2y agobtdu extra (or expert?) mode with snapshots kinda does that: you can see what's only in the new version and not in a snapshot; and vice-versa. Also it offers attributing size to folders only for extends that aren't shared with a different folder (snapshots are essentially just special folders), to kinda get a diff between the two (stuff only present in the old snapshot is shown there; stuff only present in the new version is shown there).
