Princess and the ClearOS Module - Part 1 of 4
Ever have the feeling "ClearOS is good piece of software...maybe even great. I just wish it had __________". All around the world, in 22 different languages, I'm sure the ending to that sentence has been completed with an equally broad range of functions - from running a media server used for streaming music and movies to your TV to cooking up a corn-beef on rye. For those that are interested, the former is coming soon while the latter...well, maybe never and definitely not from me...I'm not a big fan of the salted beef.
At any rate, I had this exact feeling over the weekend when I started wondering how I managed to fill up a 140 GB hard disk drive on my ClearOS server at home. Seems the combination of having two girls under the age of 5 has a rather exponential effect of disk space usage with:
a) the number of digital photos of the two of them growing up (Doh! I had to buy the 15.1 megapixel model)
b) the astounding number of princess movies one can downlo....ahem, collect
But I digress, and I'm only going to get myself into copyright trouble. I know about Bash's "du" using a wack of parameters and possibly having to resort to piping the output to yet more cryptic bash commands...
