How to tell how much drive space left?

[Knoobquest]

Just a quick question,how can you tell how much drive space is used and how much is left on a partition.As I'm installing more and more programs to my root directory,I'd like to be able to keep up with the space usage.I read in a post that you can use "df -h -T " but not sure if this is for the entire partition or the used/unused parts.I may need to enlarge my root partition even though I have a separate /home partition.The root is only 6GB.

It will give you all the info you need.

partition,file format,size, used, unused, available, percent used, mount point.

With a separate /home partition, you're very unlikely to need more space for root -- unless you start packing in a lot of stuff that doesn't belong there.

If you would like confirmation, open a Konsole and type:

df -hTxtmpfs

and post the results for review.
