Linux / Unix: Checking Free Disk Space

Q. How do I check free disk space in Linux or UNIX operating system? I've migrated from Windows NT to Linux and looking forward to get more information about free disk space.

A. Both Linux and UNIX offers two commands for checking out free disk space:

(a) df command : Report file system disk space usage

(b) du command : Estimate file space usage

df command examples - to check free disk space

Type df -h or df -k to list free disk space:
$ df -hOR
$ df -kOutput:

Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1               20G   9.2G   9.6G  49% /

/dev/sdb5               29G   5.4G    22G  20% /media/docs
/dev/sdb3               30G   5.9G    23G  21% /media/isomp3s
/dev/sda1              8.5G   4.3G   4.3G  51% /media/xp1
/dev/sda2               12G   6.5G   5.2G  56% /media/xp2
/dev/sdc1               40G   3.1G    35G   9% /media/backup

he df utility displays statistics about the amount of free disk space on the specified file system or on the file system of which file is a part. Values are displayed in 512-byte per block counts. -H option is called as "Human-readable" output. It use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte in order to reduce the number of digits to four or fewer using base 10 for sizes i.e. you see 30G (30 Gigabyte).

du command examples

du shows how much space one ore more files or directories is using.
$ du -sh103M

-s option summarize the space a directory is using and -h option provides "Human-readable" output.

Internet lag and Windows Network "failed to retrieve share list from server"

I have solved by disabling Firewall and then apply. The other long way is under:

Well Problem Solved! I searched around on the forums and found a thread that helped me out.

Explained what I needed to do to configure my machine

It turns out that I needed to install the samba client. I installed the packages
su
yum install samba-client.i686 samba-common.i686

Then, I had to install

system-config-samba

I ran

system-config-samba

and it seemed to start up fine. This config file seems to be geared towards the windows platforms accessing shares from your linux box. I didn't configure anything here. The thread then says to modify your firewall.
I then ran
system-config-firewall
and enabled samba in the "trusted services". It was able to access my windows network shares after that.

I did the configurations through the gui of each of the config files, but if anyone has a spare second, I'd love to learn how to configure the settings from within the terminal itself. Or a link to a thread explaining the commands in terminal would be great!
