Checking Disk Space with "df" or "du"

A simple way to get used disk space on your Linux system and summary of the available space, just type "df" or "du" command in a terminal. The command "df" stands for disk filesystem.

The "du" command on the other hand shows the disk space used by the files and directories in the current directory.

All all commands in linux, we also have options for this.

$ df [options]
$ du [options]


Examples for your reference:

$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/root      909G  728G  135G  85% /
none                  9.9G  268K  9.9G   1% /dev
shmfs                  20G  7.6G   13G  38% /dev/shm
none                  9.9G  356K  9.9G   1% /var/run
none                  9.9G  4.0K  9.9G   1% /var/lock
none                  9.9G     0  9.9G   0% /lib/init/rw
/dev/sda1             228M  196M   20M  91% /boot
/dev/mapper/oracle    2.7T  661G  2.0T  26% /u01

Initially, when i try to sync the files from remotehost to localhost, i have to execute manually by executing in command prompt. I thought of executing the command by shell script and then call this script from cronjob. When i do this, the script was asking for authentication which is seems no difference between manual effort and an automated one. In order to avoid this, the following steps will explain how to perform RSYNC from localhost to remote host without entering password. umasarath@localhost:~$ rsync -v umasarath@remotehost:/home/umasarath/test/* test/ umasarath@remotehost's password: test11.txt umasarath.txt sent 61 bytes received 144 bytes 82.00 bytes/sec total size is 18 speedup is 0.09 umasarath@localhost:~$ Verify that localhost and remotehost is running openSSH umasarath@local:~$ ssh -V OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu7, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 umasarath@remote:~$ ssh -V OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu7, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 Generate key-pair on the lo...
