a simple linux shell command to show you how much space a directory is using is helpful in maitaining a good disk managment. Lately i wanted to find out how much space i had left in my dedicated server, well to display or to show how much is being used, this is the command you can send:

NOTE: you must be logged in as root

Code:

cd /

Code:

du -hc --max-depth=1

this will show you something like this:

Code:

[root@hostname /]# du -hc --max-depth=1
0 ./net

1.6G ./usr
16K ./lost+found
515M ./proc
8.0K ./misc
648M ./var
112K ./dev
8.0K ./mnt
66M ./lib
8.0K ./selinux
7.3M ./bin
77M ./root
4.2M ./boot
28K ./tmp
2.7M ./backups
20M ./sbin
8.0K ./media
8.0K ./srv
0 ./sys
43M ./etc
42M ./home
8.0K ./opt
3.0G .
3.0G total

and addition, you could also use these commands to show you disk space being use by your sytem on the linux or unix shell command:

Code:

cd /
df -H

or

Code:

cd /
df -sh *

you will see something like this:

Code:

[root@hostname/]# df -H
