Setting reserved blocks percentage to 1%

According to tune2fs manual, reserved blocks are designed to keep your system from failing when you run out of space. Its reserves space for privileged processes such as daemons (like syslogd, for ex.) and other root level processes; also the reserved space can prevent the filesystem from fragmenting as it fills up. By default this is 5% regardless of the size of the partition.

get diskusage of files modified during the last n days

get diskusage of files (in this case logfiles in /var/log) modified during the last n days:

sudo find /var/log/ -mtime -n -type f | xargs du -ch

n -> last modified n*24 hours ago

Numeric arguments can be specified as

+n for greater than n,

-n for less than n,

n for exactly n.

=> so 7*24 hours (about 7 days) is -7

sudo find /var/log/ -mtime -7 -type f | xargs du -ch | tail -n1
