Ah right, I didn't realise you wanted per-directory.  Can't think
offhand of anything that will do that.  I normally just wait for the
alerts and then do
du -xn | sort -rn
to see the biggest directories.
The thing is, normally I am doing this on quite large filesystems.
Such a du can take a really long time and impact performance while
it's doing it.  I'm not sure I'd want to automate it, even once per
day..

Everybody needs graphs! :)
