du, df and ls all have an option -h or --human-readable which is very helpful displaying large file sizes. I didn't know of an easy way to sort the output of this option, so I wrote a -h option for sort. It's very helpful to identify large directories in a command like this:
du -h | sort -h ... 800K /var/cache/man 924K /var/www/icons 948K /var/cache/yum/nluug-updates-released/headers 1.1M /var/lib/scrollkeeper/index ... I'm willing to share my implementation if you're interested. Cornelis
