How can I view my File System Disk Space Usage on Ubuntu Linux?

August 11th, 2007

df -h will give you everything needed. Terminal-Wise, of course ;)

For the Others: The Application BaoBab shows everything with great graphics, plus much more - check it out!

    Wow, you’re right baobab looks really cool, gonna check it out :)
    But in this special case I was on a Remote Shell (SSH) and all I needed was a short overview where to store the *bigger* ones of my files, so I needed no GUI solution :o)

    If you need to get the size of all directories within a directory just execute `du -hsc *`. This will show up a summary of all directories.

    Cheers

    elsobrino: Cool Command, but I only needed to see which partition has how much used disk space, you know?
    Anyway, `du -hsc *` is a good solution to find big files etc. so thanks for your contribution mate! :o)
