i normally go to the mount point (ie highest level dir for that disk) and issue:

du -k | sort -n

that way you see where the space is going in descending sequence

good luck,

Hi All,
 
Sorry for an OT question, but nowhere else to go. Pretty new to Solaris so might be a naive question. Need a pointer on how to do this.
 
The disk space in the machine is constantly decreasing. And I want to know which files/directories are growing.
 
Is there any way to find out?
 
Regards
Naveen
