Thanks to all the following good folks who provided great ideas as to how to
sum up how much space a particular userid occupied across directories in a
given file system.
Basically, I got three categories of answers:
1. use du on the users directory --- unacctable since these
user have stuff ALL OVER the place.
2. 'find' piped into something or other like awk .. here's a
good example:
find . -user jrevelt -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{sum=sum+$5} END
{print "There are " sum " bytes, in " NR " files."}'
Some of these got REALLY fancy with scripts and everything.
I really appreciated that, since I took them apart and learned how they
worked.
3. And my personal favourite: the "quot" command. I had never
heard of this before, but you just type in 'quot -af', it takes a
while, but you get the amount of space per userid per file system. Just
EXACTLY what I needed in this case.
Again, thanks to the following fine folks:
