Finding Large Files

1. Example 1: To find all plain files (not block, character, symbolic links, and so on) in a file system larger than 200,000 512-byte blocks (approximately 100 Mbytes) and sort on field 7 (file size) while numerically ignoring leading blanks, do this:

• find / -size +200000 -type f -ls |sort -k 7,7 -n

2. To find all plain files (not block, character, symbolic links, and so on) in a /var file system larger than 1,000 512-byte blocks (approximately 500 Kbytes) and sort on field 7 (file size) while numerically ignoring leading blanks, do this:

• find /var -size +1000 -type f -ls |sort -k 7,7 -n
