Newbie disk space question

Hi,

Could someone share the command with me to check to see how much disk space is available on a drive or cluster of drives? Thanks.

Hi Jeff:

For a particular volume group:

# vgdisplay -v /dev/vgXX

For all volume groups:

# vgdisplay -v

For a physical disk:

# pvdisplay /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ

...JRF...

Hi Jeff,
There are several commands that apply.
For mounted filesystems, try bdf.

For volume groups, try vgdisplay -v
e.g. vgdisplay -v vg00

There is also a du command which might interest you.

man vgdisplay,pvdisplay,bdf,du for details.

The best way to learn is to simply use these commands.

One more that comes to mind is diskinfo that can be used on unconfigured disks.
man diskinfo for those details.

for a volume group

vgdisplay /dev/vg01

and then multiply Free PE's with the PE Size , to get the total free space in that vg.

The same can be done with -v and then you can see it for individual disks.

Also for a the mounted partitions ,you know it is bdf or df .
