WHO can give the most-Unix-compatible (cross platform) command to get the different sizes (disk space of contained subdirectories and "regular" files - excluding following symlinks - ) of directories on a filesystem ? Like a XDIR /S/R/D on DR-DOS ;-) Alternatively, points will go to the best answer for FreeBSD or linux Thanks, I ran out of ideas.

du -ah a is to list the files of the subdirs and h is to make it more readable ;)

Nice, but I want an agregate (sum) of the sizes of files in each level of subdirectories, not the size of each file on the filesystem ;-)

If you want to see totals by directory try this: du -Shc This will give you a size per subdirectory. The 'S' is for subdiretories 'h' for human readable sizes and the 'c' gives you a total of all at the end. if you add an 'a' to the arguement list, you will also get a report for each file. du -Shca
