Analyze disk space usage on CentOS / RedHat with ncdu
ncdu is an interactive disk space analyzer software on Linux, which I found itself pretty convinent.

It’s pretty straightforward, install dependancies, configure, make and make install. Done.
$ yum install ncurses-devel ncurses wget -y

$ rm ncdu-1.13.tar.gz
