      df only shows partitions, whereas du adds up the file sizes in the directory you specify.

      So, in particular, if you want to find out what’s taking up so much space, you can repeatedly run du -sh * and cd into the largest directory.

    One think I miss from reddit… /r/datahoarder

    These were my people. I probably have 100TB but it certainly isn’t in my home directory. I’m not sure if I should be immpressed or freightened.

    I create videos, and back up all of my raw footage. I make weekly videos, and the size ranges from 50GB up to 500GB or more. I have 105TB available, 90TB used at the moment. I also have a fully redundant set of another 105TB. My employer has unfortunately made it very easy to justify hoarding, as they’ll sell me reputable used commercial drives for $10/TB.

    The video archives are 53TB

    TubeArchivist is 19TB

    Legally acquired movies and TV is 10TB

    Immich is 2TB

    Those are the main users of data. A bunch of other folders are using anywhere from a gig to 500GB, but those are basically rounding errors.

          I’m in Virginia - I love Washington state, spent some time in Issaquah a while back in the SeaTac area… But the last time we moved my wife told me in no uncertain terms “If you take another out of state job, you’re going alone.” (Too many years of travelling for work…)

          But I’m an awesome remote worker. ;-)

    never saw the s argument and was curious what’s the difference to d. man pages are way ahead of me ^^

    --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize

      So just did a couple of experiments…

      sudo su -sh /home - returns permission denied errors on certain NAS subdirectories, but not a lot.

      du -sh /home --summarize -returns the same errors.

      du -sh --max-depth=0 - returns the same errors plus an error saying that using --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize.

      ;-) for the purposes of what I was doing (creating a clip for posting) redirecting stderr to null was the best option.

      But I learned a few things today, which is cool. ;-)

        So Home is a separate 1.8TB NVME drive… But under home is my home directory, and under that is a half-dozen NAS mounts, including my Plex stuff. collection of ISO images. ;-)

              Yeah, a single raw blu-ray can be over 100GB. I ripped my whole doctor who blu-ray collection once, it took quite a few days. And that wasn’t even 4k or HDR or anything. The first few seasons are even interlaced iirc.

        That’s a good deal. Microcenter was selling a WD 20TB external HDD for $600. Didn’t end up pulling the trigger 'cause I’m going for a 2 drive Raid1 config on my janky setup and $1350 w/ taxes is way too steep.

          SAS actually ends up being a little cheaper due to it not being as compatible with home systems… And it’s a refurb but I got lucky because smartctl showed it only had about 200 hrs of uptime reported.

      There’s probably a bunch of permissions errors, filesystems warnings for cross-filesystem mounts or links, etc. all going to stderr. Linux output streams are a bit odd, 1 is stdout and 2 is stderr. So the command is redirecting the “noise” to null and just printing the actual command output. That would be my assessment, but OP could probably give a more correct answer…!

          Well, a 256GB of storage in flash drive form can be obtained for $31 or less. So it is very possible to slowly save a copy of your data from the most important to the least. (Or to move 256GB of your least important data off at a time). The data curation community is a great resource for figuring out how to organize things to keep found things found
