Linux Check Disk Space

Posted on Edited on In

这里补充一下，常用的关于disk排查的命令就是df, du, dd, lsof, lsblk, blkid, mount, fdisk, mkfs, sync, lvm. More about Linux Storage, see my blog <<Linux Storage System>>.

I get error messages when run docker load command, this is caused by disk space run out. How do I know the disk utilization?

Shows the amount of disk space used and available on Linux file systems.

# check mounted filesystem of directory
df -h <directory>
# inode usage of directory
df -i <directory>

Shows total size of the directory and it’s subdirectories

# du: estimate file space usage

# 统计当前目录下文件大小，并按照大小排序
# -s: display only a total
# -m: --block-size=1M
# *: shell globs
du -sm * | sort -nr
# -BG: blocksize as G
du -s -BG * | sort -nr

# include hidden files
du -sch .[!.]* * | sort -h

# current directory total size
du -sm .

lsof 在这方面主要就是检查哪些文件正在被什么user, process使用:

# see what is interacting with this file
# -l: show user id instead of user name
lsof -l /path/to/file/or/directory

# see files have been opened from a directory
# +D: directory option
lsof +D /var/log

# files opened by process name, wild match by beginning characters
lsof -c ssh
lsof -c init

# files opened by process id

lsof -p 5644,^3122

# files opened by user
lsof -u root,1011

# ^: excluding root
lsof +D /home -u ^root

# -a: and operation

# find deleted file hold by which process
lsof -nP +L1 | grep '(deleted)'
