CentOS - Jan 2008 - "find" switch to find files of a certain size?

Is there a switch in "find" (or some other command besides find)
that'll let you find files larger than a specified size?

My file system is 88% full and I'd like to see where the biggest space
hoggers are.

Read the man page.

I just answered my own question; ignore original post.

I also found this on the net:
du /path/to/anywhere/* -hs | grep [0-9]M | sort -rn | head -20

It will sort the space usage of each directories.

I usually use something like:

find /mountpoint -xdev -size +10000 > someplacenotfull

This only shows you usage for directories less than 1GB. (and more than
1MB)
To see all:

du /path/to/anywhere/* -s | sort -rn | head -20
