rpk cluster logdirs describe

Describe log directories on Redpanda brokers.

This command prints information about log directories on brokers, particularly, the base directory that topics and partitions are located in, and the size of data that has been written to the partitions. The size you see may not exactly match the size on disk as reported by du: Redpanda allocates files in chunks. The chunks will show up in du, while the actual bytes so far written to the file will show up in this command.

The directory returned is the root directory for partitions. Within Redpanda, the partition data lives underneath the the returned root directory in.

kafka/{topic}/{partition}_{revision}/

where revision is a Redpanda internal concept.
