The concentric circles represent different levels in the file system hierarchy. Above, the circle in the center represents the /boot/home/ folder. Each segment of the ring immediately outside that circle is a file or folder under /boot/home/. Every segment farther outside brings you one level deeper in the file hierarchy. You may have to resize the window to accommodate very deep folders.
- If the graphical representation of a file or folder comprises less than about 2° of a circle, it is excluded from the display.

You can also use the Tracker add-on from the context menu of any folder to start DiskUsage with that particular location.
