I have a debian server which has a lot of user folders and I would like to have a tool like FolderSize application in Mac, where i can check the filesystem by filetype or foldersize (or whatever argument possible to sort) to have a quick look on server storage.

It can be a text-mode application like Midnight Commander or a web based application like Webmin. Thanks.

GT5 is probably what you're looking for.

Isn't du enough?

I use ncdu for this. Console-based, so working anywhere, and very simple to use.

I've seen in Tekzilla a tool, named JDiskReport which runs on several OSes. Actually I haven't tried it out on any Linux yet but on Vista it is great. And it is a Java application therefore it should work on Linux too.

$ du -sh foldername
408K    foldername

$ man du

du - estimate file space usage

-s, --summarize
         display only a total for each argument

-h, --human-readable
          print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

it's manual but it works wonders if you hook it into a script

You might be interested in agedu. From the description "It does basically the same sort of disk scan as du, but it also records the last-access times of everything it scans. Then it builds an index that lets it efficiently generate reports giving a summary of the results for each subdirectory, and then it produces those reports on demand. "
