Hi Monty,

There is a very powerful command that you can find in Linux Operating System, DF is a command for checking the free and used space on the partition. It has few helpful options also.

Examples are given below.

#df              reports disk space used

#df /opt       kilobyte used report

# df -h /etc  human readable MB

# df -s /etc   single directory summary

You can use any one of these following command options which will display file size on Linux operating systems using shell prompt : ' ls command' – shows list directory contents ' du command ' – shows estimated file space usage ' stat command ' – displays files system stats For example : ' ls -l /bin ' (to determine the size of the file called /bin) You can do the same for checking Disk space by replacing /bin with the Disk #
