Disk Usage & System Info (df, du, uname)
Monitor disk space, file sizes, and retrieve system information using commands like 'df', 'du', and 'uname'.
Why Monitor Disk & System Info?
Understanding your system's disk usage and core information is crucial for maintaining a healthy and efficient Linux environment.
- Resource Management: Know when disk space is running low.
- Troubleshooting: Identify oversized files or directories.
- System Awareness: Get details about your operating system kernel and architecture.
Checking Free Disk Space with `df`
The df command, short for 'disk free', displays the amount of available disk space for filesystems mounted on your system.
It shows:
- Filesystem name
- Total size
- Used space
- Available space
- Usage percentage
- Mount point
