[Linux-disciples] du, narrowed a bit

I see in 'df' that one of my partitions is more full than I
expected it to be:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1             9.3G  7.6G  1.3G  86% /

I'd like to see which files on that mount point are taking
up space. But if I do 'du /', I'm going to get a list of
every file beneath / -- including /home, which is on a
different volume. So how can I get a listing of all the
files on /dev/hda1, preferably sortable by size?
