Determining Current Disk Space Usage

When you suspect not having sufficient disk space in the directories in which SEAS product files are installed, you may find the following commands useful in determining the current disk space usage.

The Display Filesystem Statistics command: df -k

The Report on Disk Usage command: du directory

Display Filesystem Statistics: df -k directory

The command df -k directory displays the used and available disk space for each of the mounted file systems. The example indicates that 101061 kilobytes are available in /opt

For example: df -k /opt could display something like the following:

Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5     123455   10049  101061    10%    /opt

Report on Disk Usage: du directory

The command du directory reports the amount of disk space used by all files and subdirectories underneath one of more specified directories, listed on a per subdirectory basis. Disk usage is reported in blocks. The numbers on the left indicate the number of blocks of disk space occupied by the directory. In our example, the /opt/SUNWits directory occupies 18456 blocks of disk space.

For example: du /opt could display something like the following:

18456   /opt/SUNWits
2       /opt/SUNWleo/include
4       /opt/SUNWleo
