[/caption]I baught a week ago a new NAS for home (a Synology DS-207+) and I really enjoy all features included but I have a little problem. I’ve got many gigs of photos !!! When I say many it’s really full filled ! :)

So, if you want to know precisely the folder size of your hard drive the “du” command is a great tool.
