Your question has almost no meaning because it lacks any context. It is fairly easy to periodically do a df and compare those values over time but all that shows you is total filesystem space used. In an application such as a database, it is very common to preallocate the file (table) space so that the actual space used with respect to the filesystem doesn't change unless files are actually added or removed from the database. The free space in such a system only has meaning within the application itself --- in this case the database. There is really no general answer to this question other than "it depends".
