 | View Full Version : Determine HDD size on Linux coffin 09-10-2002, 04:46 PM Hello everyone, Will someone tell me how to determine the total HDD size on a linux machine from the command prompt? Also, how do I determine the amount of free space on the drive? Thank you in advance. RoseHosting 09-10-2002, 04:52 PM Use the "df" command. It'll list all the partitions and will give you their sizes and how much space is used/available. I hope this helps.
