View disk usage

Here are 3 linux tools that I usualy use for analysing disk space.

• To see size and usage of any mounted partition, df command can be used:
  df -h
• To see disk usage of particular directory, du command can be used:
  du -sh directory_name
• In graphical enviroment good graphical disk analyser is baobab.

Ofcourse, there are other options for first two commands, that can be read in their man pages. And, there are many other graphical disk analysers.
