Subject: [Cialug] space by directory

We're running Linux under IBM zVM and I have a problem.  One of our mount points is running low on space.  I can do "df -h" which tells me which mount point is short on space, but I can't seem to find a way to look at the directories under the mount point to figure out which one is using up more than its share of space.

I hoping there is something that I can cd to the mount point and it will list the space used by all of the directories underneath it, recursively.  I just want a list of the directories immediately below where I am, but with all the space used in that directory or any subdirectory under it.  

Is there anything like that?
