To list directories sorted by size with the largest last I use...

# du -k /relevant_volume | sort -n -k 1

To find all files changed in the last 2 days larger than, say, 10 MB use
something like...

# find /relevant_volume -size +1000000c -mtime -2 -ls

Hope this points you in the right direction.

Will.

85% used and it's gotten so big it's messing with my ability to back it up..
it used to be/should be maybe 12GB, but is over double that now.
