Looking for disk monitor program

sneckert · 02-25-2008, 10:04 AM

I just installed PCLinuxOS-Minime 2008. I was using PCLOS 2007 until it started duplicating it's system files and filling up my hard drive until it wouldn't run anymore. I have no problems with the new version but I can't find a file that was in the old version. It was a KDE file that showed how much of each partition was used, I don't remember the name of it either. Does anyone know of a program that monitors the use of each partition? Or can you help me find where the KDE program is?
Thank you, Stephen

That's sounds like the program I was using. Do you know what group of KDE programs it's in?

Randall Slack
Thanks. df -h works but it's in text, I would prefer graphic display. But the information is the same and I can use it until I can get the graphic version.

IN my kde is main menu called system choice system > file system > kdiskfree

The graphical disk usage analyzers I've used are "Baobab" and "Filelight".

you can monitor that with cacti or nagios too, and nagios will send you an email and/or text message when it reaches the warning threshold.
