Hey folks,
Is there a Linux tool that will monitor a disk and tell me which
directories are growing over time?
I could cobble something together myself of course, but if there is already
a good off-the-shelf solution, why bother?
Even if it only checks once per day that would be fine. Graphs would be
pretty too :-)
cheers,
-Alan

Graphs would be > pretty too :-)Might be overkill but cacti or Nagios+PNP would do this... snmp + mrtg might do it too But if you want something light, I would just go for something homemade with gd for the graphs...
