Finding Disk Hogs? (Storage Monitor)

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am running out of blocks on a drive, but there are not many files that have
 been copied to the disk.  We show over 50,000,000 blocks total, but only
 400,000 free.  We've probably used about 500,000 total.  Where has my free
 space gone?

The Answer is :

 
  Assuming ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR does not free up any space and
  does not indentify problems in the file structure, the disk
  space has probably been consumed-- whether or not you have
  realized it was used.
 
  Please see DIRECTORY/SIZE=ALL and related commands, and
  you can consider enabling disk quotas for all users --
  with the quota limits set to larger than the disk -- and
  then rebuild the quota file.  Examination of the output
  from the DIRECTORY command or the resulting (rebuilt)
  quota file will help you track the storge.
