   Assuming it is mounted at /«mount-point», then you can look at the usage   
   of the top-level directories on that volume with a command like   
      
      du -ks /«mount-point»/*/   
      
   and then drill down from there. If you have other volumes mounted under   
   it, then they will confuse the issue. You can get around that with a bind   
   mount.
