I have to know the spare hard disk of a server.

1)
I have tried "df -k", there is a column "avail", is that I sum up all the avail value in each line is equal to the spare hard disk?

2)
I have tried "du -k", there is a value in the first column, is that one is the disk space used??

3)
Actually, I just want to get the space hard disk size, what can I do?

hi

1. Sample df -k output on linux:

[root@linux1 db2admin]# df -k
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 8064272 2349436 5305184 31% /
/dev/hda1 101089 3485 92385 4% /boot
/dev/hda7 5044156 1162328 3625596 25% /home
/dev/hda6 5747912 1445356 4010580 27% /var


Here Filesystem is the parttion u have got on ur HDDs.
1k-Blocks is total size of partition in KBs
Used: Used space in KBs
Available: Free Space in KBs
USE%: % Space used
Mounted on: Directory on which partition is mounted.

2. du -k

Yers thats the value of space used on that directory againts which this value is specified

eg:
12 ./.kde/Autostart
16 ./.kde
24 ./Desktop
30664 ./software_setup


3. To check HDD size use format command in Unix
