Try these
du -h ./
For the most part this works. If you have spaces in file/directory
names than you may get some errors, but I'm sure you can work around
those if needed:
ls -1drt *| xargs du -h --summarize
You could also try
du -hc --max-depth=1
This will give you all the directories in the current directory, and a total at the bottom. Play with the --max-depth to dig down further in the structure and get more fine-grained results.
You can run this with a pipe to grep "G" to do a quick search of folders that are large enough to be measured in gigabytes. It will pull any directories with a capital G in them, but there aren't many of those so it works for me.
du -hc --max-depth=1 | grep "G"

Where's the php.ini file
/etc/php.ini
Or here:
/etc/php/php.ini
/etc/php5/php.ini
Or here:
/usr/bin/php5/bin/php.ini
Anyway, you can always find any file named php.ini in this manner
find / -name php.ini
The simplest yet most powerful usage of the renowned find command. By its help I was able to locate the php.ini on my Ubuntu 9.04 Apache2 and PHP5:
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Free Disk Space / Disk usage on Linux
Q. How do I check free disk space in Linux or UNIX operating system? I've migrated from Windows NT to Linux and looking forward to get more information about free disk space.
A. Both Linux and UNIX offers two commands for checking out free disk space:
(a) df command : Report file system disk space usage
(b) du command : Estimate file space usage
df command examples - to check free disk space
Type df -h or df -k to list free disk space:
OR
$ df -h
OR
$ df -k
linuxServer:/ # df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 109038804 82892008 20610028 81% /
udev 3864264 92 3864172 1% /dev
/dev/sda3 10079572 5955024 3612484 63% /home
or you can run this command to get the file sizes at depth 1
# du -hc --max-depth=1
Thanks
