I'm sure I've posted this before, but repetition is the most sincere form of .... something deep and meaningful.
Want to see what's eating your disk in a particular file-system ?
Try: -
du -hs * | sort -h
against, say, /home to see who is eating your disk, especially in terms of specific user's home directories etc.

That is a great idea if you cannot install other tools.
But there is actually a simple and nice tool called "ncdu".
It's part of epel in RHEL/CentOS.
ncdu gives you a list you can navigate :-)
