 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?
