Drive Partition Layout Survey

Well it keeps coming up… see today’s post on Disk usage biting somebody…

Riffing off that a bit, specifically the du invocation suggested in Disk usage - #2 by jmpg (thanks @jmpg), maybe some would feel more comfortable posting the output of:

du -chd4 /boot /etc /home /opt /root /srv /tmp /usr /var | sort -rh | head -n20 | sed -e 's/^/|/' -e 's/\t/|/' -e 's/$/|/' | sed '2i|-|-|'

Such as this from a relatively fresh v17 install:
