I am looking for a script that analyzes the contents of an external HD

I have many external USB Hard disk devices. I would know if there is a script or a program wich analyzes all the HD content and prints it on a txt file as a family tree.
It would be better if near each file it's showed its size, and at the header the occupied/free/total HD space.

An example of the family tree concept I mean (even if this is an image):

This prints a nice tree which shows size along with each file's name.

$ tree /mnt -h -a -A

As for the total HD space, simply type

$ df -h /mnt

Re: I am looking for a script that analyzes the contents of an external HD

Really useful this tree command. Printing on the console characters are right, but why if I give:

tree /media/My\ Book/ -h -a -A >>list.txt

the file "list.txt" presents strange characters:

/media/My Book/
(0tqq (B[   0]  Applicazioni
(0x   tqq (B[4.0K]  Emulazione
(0x   x   tqq (B[4.0K]  Avventure grafiche
