I want to measure the space used by all files used by a given host.

Something which would give a similar figure to:

# du -sh pc/somehost


If I could see "uncompressed" values too - would be great.


I know that due to pooling, space measured this way for all hosts would 
be more than space used on the disk, but that's not my concern.
All I want to know is how much files for a given host "weight".
