I'll have to take a look at ncdu. Most of the time I just use du and some hacky Perl regex to produce the numbers I need. perl -n -e '$grp="' -e "$grep_string" -e '";$lvl=$grp=~tr[/][];$lvl++;print if /^(\d+)(\s*)[^\/]+(\/[^\/]+){$lvl}[^\/]*$/;' < $file | grep $grep_string |sort -n where $file is the output from "du -m" and $grep_string is the directory path you want to summarize. It's probably not the best way to do it but it evolved from a previous regex and it worked so I never bothered trying to make it pretty.
