Keeping track of disk utilization information is on system administrators' (and others') daily to-do list. Linux has a few built-in utilities that help provide that information.
|
|
|
|
### df
|
|
|
|
The `df` command stands for "disk-free," and shows available and used disk space on the Linux system.
|
|
|
|
`df -h` shows disk space in human-readable format
|
|
|
|
`df -a` shows the file system's complete disk usage even if the Available field is 0
|
|

|
|
`df -T` shows the disk usage along with each block's filesystem type (e.g., xfs, ext2, ext3, btrfs, etc.)
|
|
|
|
`df -i` shows used and free inodes
|

|
|
|
|
### du
|
|
|
|
`du` shows the disk usage of files, folders, etc. in the default kilobyte size
|
|
|
|
`du -h` shows disk usage in human-readable format for all directories and subdirectories
|
|
|
|
`du -a` shows disk usage for all files
|
|
|
|
`du -s` provides total disk space used by a particular file or directory
|
|

|
|
|
|
The following commands will check your total space and your utilized space.
|
|
|
|
### ls -al
|
|
|
|
`ls -al` lists the entire contents, along with their size, of a particular directory
|
|

|
|
|
|
### stat
|
|
|
|
`stat <file/directory> `displays the size and other stats of a file/directory or a filesystem.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### fdisk -l
|
|
|
|
`fdisk -l` shows disk size along with disk partitioning information
|

These are most of the built-in utilities for checking file space in Linux. There are many similar tools, like [Disks][1] (GUI), [Ncdu][2], etc., that also show disk space utilization. Do you have a favorite tool that's not on this list? Please share in the comments.
