Use the df -k (disk free) command to see space available on your current device in kilobytes:
% df -k .
Compare the available disk space information from your machine to the disk space requirements.
Here is sample output from a df -k command on an RS6000 system:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on /dev/hd4 16384 9108 45% 1162 15% / /dev/hd2 552960 27988 95% 16323 12% /usr /dev/hd9var 16384 8964 46% 198 5% /var /dev/hd3 155648 139360 11% 165 1% /tmp /dev/hd1 0 0 -1% - - /home /dev/lv00 4395008 1682360 62% 9032 1% /fiona01 /dev/lv01 2097152 984828 54% 4349 1% /fiona02 /dev/lv02 7823360 1567812 80% 58 1% /fiona05
The “Free” column shows the amount of disk space available on each file system.
