go DiskUsage()
Pretty fast disk usage analyzer written in Go.
Gdu is intended primarily for SSD disks where it can fully utilize parallel processing.
However HDDs work as well, but the performance gain is not so huge.
Installation
Head for the releases page and download the binary for your system.
Using curl:
curl -L https://github.com/dundee/gdu/releases/latest/download/gdu_linux_amd64.tgz | tar xz
chmod +x gdu_linux_amd64
mv gdu_linux_amd64 /usr/bin/gdu
See the installation page for other ways how to install Gdu to your system.
Or you can use Gdu directly via Docker:
docker run --rm --init --interactive --tty --privileged --volume /:/mnt/root ghcr.io/dundee/gdu /mnt/root

--enable-profiling Enable collection of profiling data and provide it on http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/
-L, --follow-symlinks Follow symlinks for files, i.e. show the size of the file to which symlink points to (symlinks to directories are not followed)
-h, --help help for gdu
-i, --ignore-dirs strings Paths to ignore (separated by comma). Can be absolute or relative to current directory (default [/proc,/dev,/sys,/run])
-I, --ignore-dirs-pattern strings Path patterns to ignore (separated by comma)

-f, --input-file string Import analysis from JSON file

-n, --non-interactive Do not run in interactive mode
-o, --output-file string Export all info into file as JSON
-r, --read-from-storage Read analysis data from persistent key-value storage
--sequential Use sequential scanning (intended for rotating HDDs)

-a, --show-apparent-size Show apparent size
-d, --show-disks Show all mounted disks
-C, --show-item-count Show number of items in directory
-M, --show-mtime Show latest mtime of items in directory
-B, --show-relative-size Show relative size
--si Show sizes with decimal SI prefixes (kB, MB, GB) instead of binary prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB)
--storage-path string Path to persistent key-value storage directory (default "/tmp/badger")
-s, --summarize Show only a total in non-interactive mode
-t, --top int Show only top X largest files in non-interactive mode
--use-storage Use persistent key-value storage for analysis data (experimental)
