What is the command to check total space of Linux server

[@excalibur7733]

Can u tell me exactly how to clear disk space for linux because I need more disk space or I don't have enough.

[@virtualitlearning1475]

Hello, the first step is to identify the top files / folders with their consumption. Please use the commands below: a) du -shc * | sort -nr (you can also add | grep G at the end to list only the folders with GB’s in size) b) Now to remove an unnecessary folder, use the command: rm -r ; (this command will delete a folder recursively, including all sub-folders in it so be careful when using this command). Same way to delete a file, use the command; rm ; you can use -f to force delete the file if it prompts you before delete action.

i am having low disk space on 'filesystem root" on my NVR , but dont know how to go about it, any help?. The vendor has stopped supporting me, and i dont have linux knowledge

If you want to display the total usage information of a mount point then you can use the below command. $ df . -h If you want to display a list of all amounts with their allocated and used space then use the below command. $ df -h If you want to list all files/directories with their space consumption then use the below command: $ du -shc * (or du -shc * | sort -nr) -- this is very useful when you are facing space issues and need to determine as which file(s) are taking up the space and make space available accordingly.

How would you list the amount of disk on a linux system?

How about the historical data?

[@virtualitlearning1475]

Hello, the command below will return all files / folders with their consumption: du -shc * | sort -nr (you can also add | grep G at the end to list only the folders with GB’s in size)

[@superg-reezy943]

why does look like rocket science? no offense you know what your doing but its just really hard to figure this out.

[@amitdubey986]

You need to try doing it to figure out this is not rocket science. The author here tried to make it as simple as it could be. You need to put little effort to understand this.

@@amitdubey986 Requires reading, many cannot do this properly, nowadays. Everything spoonfed, even then.....

How do I clear my sda1 folder? Kindly help me. [root@centos-4gb-nbg1-3 log]# df . -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 38G 37G 0 100% /

[@virtualitlearning1475]

Hello, Please try the below steps: 1) Go to the directory /sda1 2) Run the below command to determine which file or folder is taking up the space: $ du -shc * (you can add | more at the end if listing is too long to fit on one page and then scroll through. Then delete the unwanted files) OR 3)$ find . -size +10M -type f -exec ls -ltrh {} \; This command will return files with size higher than 10M (you can change any value here) then delete the unwanted files. Thanks.
