The command "df -h" no show me the size of partition true!

Sorry, I may have misspoke...

In hunting down an oversized file, I usually use "du -h -s *", which 
summarizes the size of all files/subdirectories. It does not show 
hidden directories. This tripped me up for a little while, since the 
file in question was in a hidden directory.

Hope this helps.
