[ale] Disk Space used in the past 5 days

Doing this is the way you want to go.   You can even break it down by folder.   Also make sure you're taking into account filesystems if you do multiples (e.g. if /usr/local were a separate filesystem "du -S /usr" would include /usr/local so measuring /usr/local separately and adding it to /usr would duplicate the space you see. )

if you do a :
#  du -S|tail -1

it will give you the total ( of that folder... or specify a folder)

do that every day in a cron and do 'date'>> to that file in the cron job..
