Diskspace Management, from a users perspective
Lecture Overview Index | Linux SysAdmin Homepage
Overview
Goals:
  • Understand Quotas
  • Know where your user files are kept
  • How to monitor disk usage on different partitions.
The following programs/files/directories will be discussed for this topic
  • du and du -s
  • df (df -k or df -h)
  • quota -v
Questions
  • Why do we need quotas? What is a hard and soft limit?
  • What happens if a partition runs out of room?
  • Why will quota often say you are using more space than the du command (run in your home directory) does? Where else are your files kept?
  • What else does df tell you other than disk usage?
