Cool! I hadn't seen that before. Checking it out now.
I have been recommending 'xdu'. It reads output from du. Although
you can usually pipe it I tend to run du on the server and then copy

it repeatedly and just use the cached data file.
ssh -n server du -xml / > /tmp/du-xml.root.out
xdu /tmp/du-xml.root.out

by it and all of its children. The name of each directory and
