Topic: Drive space question

[trenthaynes]

I'm new to SME and it is exactly what I was looking for when I was trying out Suse and Redhat distros.  Just a server for mail/web/ftp/files.

I've searched some, but haven't come across anything yet.  I have 4 x 18.2 scsi drives on the machine.  It is based on an IWill 333r mb, 512meg RAM, ATAPI CD-ROM.  

My question is, how much drive space do I have and how do I check on it?  I really don't yet understand how drive space is handled in linux, even though I've read a few things from Ibilio.org (a Linux filesystem pdf, Linux from scratch?, and a couple others).

If you can point me in a direction to find the answers, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,
Trent Haynes

Type this on the console:

df /

this will tell you how much total space, consumed & free space you have.  Remember that the SME has  very simple partioning scheme so basically / *is* the disk space.

I realize now that by default SME only is using one of those drives.  I found a how-to on adding a new hd.  Will try that and see how it goes.  Thanks.
