Hi All,
How can we check the disk usage in LINUX?

Thanks in advance.

'du -h'

if you just want to see current level directory usage, add '--max-depth=1'

'du -h' will give you the directory usage.
'df -h' will tell you how much disk free space you have.

du is the command for disk usage.

du -a gives usage information of all files and directories.

du -b gives the information in bytes

du -a -b is the perfect answer i guess.
