Gives Network Administrators the ability to keep users within a specified amount of disk space. The software allows twogroups of users to be allocated different amounts of disk space. Quick and easy to set up. DQM runs at the workstation level which means it is compatible with most servers. Administrators can decide how DQM will respond to users who exceed their allocation. DQM can be set togently advise clients or if necessary force them to stay within their allowed space.

TreeSize for Unix is a disk consumption analyzing tool, which sorts folders according to their physical occupied sizes.

The perfect tool to help you obtaining more disk free space, on your hard drive, usb pen drive or even on network folders (provided that they are mounted and you have access to them, of course )

Just like du, it counts hard links just once and the space utilized by different filesystems are not added together.
