[plug] How much free space is on my disk?

[John Breen]

Funnily enough, it was on Solaris.

But df -k was what we wound up using anyways.

Cheers,


John

Careful with other OSes. df from GNU fileutils defaults to printing out
how many kilobytes are free, but under Solaris, for example, df will
print out how many 512 byte blocks are free - doubling your numbers.

"df -k" can then be helpful.
