Thanks, I'll look into those.

My needs are _loosely_ what a 'du' does, but a little more complicated - I'm needing (assuming a tree of):

/usr                       10mb
    /local                  5mb 
          /apache           5mb
    /include                1mb
    /system                 1mb

followed by a little hackery to assign different 'structures' to cost centres.

So yes, doing a du of /usr, then of /usr/local, then of /usr/local/apache, would be a solution, but then I'd end up reading the tree lots of times, which'd get very expensive.
