Disk Usage: Find the Space Hog

A filesystem is filling up and you need to find the culprit directory fast. Under /root/data there are several subdirectories (names and sizes differ per session). Use du to find the subdirectory using the most DISK SPACE and record its name (just the basename, e.g. 'logs') to /root/answers/largest.txt. Careful: ls -l reports a file's apparent size, and a sparse file can look huge while using almost nothing — du measures what's actually allocated.

du -sh /root/data/* # size per subdir, human-readable

Grading checks the recorded name against what du measures on this machine.
