How big is your /usr?

Unread post by machinebacon » Thu Jan 29, 2015 3:13 pm

Just asking because I'm really curious.

Code: Select all

du -h /usr/ | tail -n 1
What's your size? :) If you wish, please also post your /etc/os-release or /etc/lsb-release

Thanks!

Interesting. This is on my main lappy, which I think is just the most bloated of my machines.

Code: Select all

~ $ du -h /usr/ | tail -n 1
3.7G	/usr/
~ $ env-info

On Arch, 1.2G

On Debian stable, 1.1G

On BBQ Standard Mixture, 408M

Haggis/Baconator: 919M

the new slack base: 615M (unfortunately, there's no healthy way of removing around 250MB of locales and foreign docs)

^ wow. What distro are you using? Do you have a very large root partition? (a large root will show relatively larger sub-directories)

Just because I am now curious, can you please post the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

df -h
du -chd1 /usr
