Hello jeesshnasree,

You can do this with find and awk. First use find to get a list of unique user names for the files contained in the directory. Then use find -user ${username} -ls and awk  to sum up the total size for all the files owned by that user.

Something like:

for user in `find . -type f -ls | awk '{ print $5}' | sort | uniq`
do
usage=`find . -type f -user $user -ls | awk '{total+=$7}; END{ print total}'`
echo "Usage for user $user: $usage bytes"
done
