How do I determine disk space usage?

econnections · 08-26-2005, 05:06 PM

Hi,

I'm using a single 80GB IDE disk on RH9.

Q1. From the command prompt what should I type to see the size of the file system and how much space is left?

Q2. Is there a freeware application I can use to give me a graphical view of disk usage?

Thanks

Question no.1 : see "man df" and "man du"
Question no.2 : Sorry, don't know.

df -h should give you what you're looking for. A quick search showed there should be graphical displays available on KDE or Gnomes "System Monitor."

Within the KDE suite there is a program called KDiskFree or KwikDiskFree, something like that. I find that very useful, but if you can use df and du, then you will be happier I think...
