System environment CentOS release 7.2 For

example, to view the size of the home directory:

du -s /home

can also:

du -sh /home or

M display [root@localhost hadoop-1.0.4]# du -h --max-depth 1 or [root@localhost hadoop-1.0.4]# du -h --max-depth=1 92K ./conf 56K ./libexec 272K ./webapps 1.3M ./c++ 59M ./lib 944K ./ivy 19M ./logs 67M ./src 184K ./bin 55M ./docs 72K ./sbin 1.3M ./contrib 72K ./share 211M . is equivalent to [root@localhost hadoop-1.0.4]# du -h -d 1 [root@ localhost hadoop-1.0.4]# du -h -d 1 92K ./conf 56K ./libexec

system environment CentOS release 6.4 (Final), support the following command
[root@hadoop_slave1 servers ]# du -h --max-depth 1

Note:



Check the file size of the current first-level directory

du -h --max- depth=1 to


view the size of all files in the current directory

du -sh
du -k --max-depth=1
to display several

commonly used 1. --max-

depth=<directory layers> Directories that exceed the specified number of layers After that, ignore it. If it is 0, it is equivalent to du-sh
du -sh --max-depth=0
du: warning: summarizing is the same as using --max-depth=0
1.2G .
But if directly du-0 (digital zero) means Each time the information of a directory is listed, no line breaks
2. -s or –summarize only display the total, the size of the current directory.
3.-h or –human-readable Use K, M, G as the unit to improve the readability of information.
