[LUG] Low diskspace on /

[Julian Hall <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Once again Mint is telling me / is low on disk space, and referring to 
previous mails when I asked this question I know what information to 
look for;

sda8 /is/ the / mount partition.  I have just checked the backup for / 
and the size does seem to be reported correctly.  How would I list the 
directory(ies) sizes on / please?

Cerce ~ # df -klh
