What is the command? CLI
Ok I am supposed to figure out what directory in /var is filling up the partition. I know that
df -h will tell me the partition is full but how do I know what directory is the one that is filling it up?
Is this even possible? This was a job interview question and for the life of me I couldn't figure it out and they wouldn't tell me?Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
