How can I check the storage space usage in Linux?

In a Linux system, you can use the following command to check the storage space usage:

1. The df command is used to display the disk space usage of the file system.

df -h

This command will display all mounted file systems and show disk space usage in a human-readable format, including total capacity, used space, available space, and mount point information.

1. du command: used to estimate the disk space usage of files and directories.

du -sh /path/to/directory

This command will display the disk space usage of the specified directory, with the “-s” option indicating only the total amount and the “-h” option showing it in a human-readable format.

1. The “ls” command is used to display a list of files and directories.

ls -lh /path/to/directory

This command will display the files and directories in the specified directory, showing the size of the files in a human-readable format.

We can quickly view the storage usage in a Linux system using the above command.
