Linux Finding Directory with large number of files


I recently ran into an issue where there was some new software running which was writing a lot of trace files which was causing my disk space to be full. I was not sure which directory it was writing it in so I googled for a script and found this

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/122854/find-the-top-50-directories-containing-the-most-files-directories-in-their-first

I ran the following command and it found the offending directory in 2 mins.

du --inodes -S | sort -rh | sed -n \
        '1,50{/^.\{71\}/s/^\(.\{30\}\).*\(.\{37\}\)$/\1...\2/;p}'

This allows software components to be tested in isolation Abstract Transaction Manager – Allows for pluggable transaction managers, not tied to J2EE environments JDBC abstratcion layer – meaningfull exception hierarchy (no need to extract vendor codes from SQLException) simplified error handling. Integrartes with Toplink, Hibernate, JDO and iBATIS SQL maps AOP functionality – can AOP any object and add aspects such as declarative transaction management. Transaction management can be done without EJB or JTA A flexible MVC architecture – Can work with Struts, WebWork or Tapestry and accomodates multiple view techonlogies like JSP, Velocity, Tiles, iText and POI Spring uses a setter based dependancy injection pattern (Inversion of Control) See my Spring AOP Sample Book Reference: Pro Spring by Rob Harrop Jan Machacek

http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2008/05/02/never-never-never-use-string-in-java-or-at-least-less-often/ An excellent post on why you should minimize using String, int and other Primitive Data Types.One advantage I personally see is in the Code Completion feature of Oracle JDeveloper where it will show me the data type for the methods but not the variable name. One should be careful of not overdoing this approach as it can make your code a lot more verbose.
