Great idea. Not sure why doing that has never occur to me. I don't see
the h option on the man sort page, and I get an error if I try to use it.
But, I think you meant:
du -h |sort -n
or my preference when just looking for who to point the finger at:
du -h --max-depth=1 |sort -n
I wonder if my RAID array has just become completely fragmented, because
du does look at hidden directories, and this is such a crazy discrepancy
between du and df.
