How to get the summarized sizes of directories and their subdirectories?
Problem
Let's say I want to get the size of each directory of a Linux file system. When I use I don't really get the summarized size of the folders. If I use I get the size of each mounted file system but that also doesn't help me. And with I get the size of each subdirectory and the summary of the whole file system. But I want to have only the summarized size of each directory within the ROOT folder of the file system. Is there any command to achieve that?
Error Output
ls -la
