Re: Free space?

Nope, turns out that gives disk usage on a per file basis, not for an entire partition.

There's a program I'm looking for - can't remember its name - but it gives the size of each partition, along with the amount of available space per partition ... all in a tabular format. Sorta like free only for hdd instead of RAM.

Re: Free space?

RH 7.3 .... I haven't checked anywhere yet. Just wanted to check my available free space to make sure I wasn't running out and decided to post first.
