I’m really sorry for stressing you on this… I’m not so good with the shell/bash stuff.

You are supposed to do that inside the /mnt directory, as I explained above…

:arrow_down:

Okay, given that /dev/sda1 is already mounted, just do this… :arrow_down:

cd /mnt
sudo du -ch . | sort -h

What about:

sudo du /mnt -chd1 | sort -h

as /mnt is already mounted :wink:

Let’s try this again… :roll_eyes:

:arrow_down:

cd / && sudo du -chd1 /mnt | sort -h

I think it will be nice to send you all the command in my terminal so far.

All these are from the terminal on the live USB drive

Whatever you mounted to /mnt, it is not the filesystem, you wanted to look into.

Interrupting a command with ^C :rofl: may prevent it from giving you any usefull results.

I did this because i wanted to run another command and since the initial command didn’t return anything

What is the output of… :arrow_down:

lsblk

… and… :arrow_down:

mount | grep sd

That doesn’t make any sense. It means you are in a chroot environment.

Okay, now do this… :arrow_down:

sudo du -chd1 / | sort -h
54 
[manjaro mnt]# sudo du -chd1 / | sort -h
du: cannot access '/proc/3709/task/3709/fd/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access '/proc/3709/task/3709/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access '/proc/3709/fd/3': No such file or directory
du: cannot access '/proc/3709/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory
55

Try this then… :arrow_down:

sudo du -chd1 / --exclude={/dev,/proc,/sys,/run} | sort -h
56

It doesn’t return anything

57

You need to wait until it does :upside_down_face:

58

Okay. Thought it’s gonna be a fast stuff.

Is this a LUKS-encrypted drive, by the way? :scream:

It is gona count every single byte on your volume !
This may take some time :innocent:
