Sort directories into largest first. Wont show which files are biggest
though.
Why not simply add more space?
If you have a free partition, or if you add a new disk, make it LVM (not
ablogatory but will save this hassle in the future), create filesystem du
jour, mount it, copy all files from full partition using rsync or
something.
Rename /etc/fstab to reflect changes, umount and remount partitions.
Then you can nuke the full partition, make it LVM and add it to the new
partition/disk.
Job done.
