View hard disk size command

Is there a command in Linux that will show me the available space on a hard disk partition. I have used du to view disk usage, but that doesn't tell me how much space is left. How can I tell if /dev/hda1 is a 20GB partition or a 50GB partition from the command line interface? Any help is greatly appreciated. Mike

try `df -h`.

Perfect!! Thanks so much for the quick and accurate response. I have been looking all over for that one. Mike

And for nicety I generally tack on a "T" - as in "du -hT".
