I have directories which are in GB's in linux file system. I want disk usage the fastest way to get the directories list. how much disk space is consuming for each directory. I used du in background but it takes lot of time (probably days to find each directory usage).

You can try tree:
tree -d -h --du
-d only print directories, -du disk usage, -h human friendly output

Any other tool/command line options to get bigger disk usage of directory. bcoz my data in each directory is consuming more than 50 GB it takes time to get i guess.. If i can get very fast using alternative tool/commands i hope that would be better Apr 8, 2019 at 5:50
