UNIX system solutions

On a UNIX machine, there are several commands that help with disk space diagnosis. A few of these are:

  • df
  • du
  • compress

For example:

  1. Run df to get the file space percentages for each file system.
  2. Use du -sk * at the beginning of the file system (usually /integrator).
  3. Change to the largest directory.
  4. Run the du -sk * command again.
    Perform this routine until the largest files are found. After they are identified, analyze, move, remove, or compress them.
