Hello,

File sizes (like logs or databases) can dramatically increase.
Do you recommend any standard tools that can find and show the biggest
candidates in a file system that allocate the free space on a drive or
partition faster than you expect?
How do you detect which programs and processes are so "resource hungry"
that the storage limits are easily reached in a short time?

Regards,
Markus

How do you efficiently order all files from a partition or complete
hard disk by write access time and size?
Do you need to convert the file system for better introspection and
investigation into a database to query such file attributes and status
information?

Regards,
Markus

Have a look at cfengine. This tool can, amongst other things, monitor file
sizes.

I suggest you ask the folks in comp.unix.admin.
