Keeping within Disk Space Limits

What is the best way to check how much space I am already using?

There are two ways to check disk usage:

1. At the command prompt type quota
   

   % quota
   
   Disk quotas for user USERNAME (uid UID):
   Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
         /usr    1558   28160   25600             358    2750    2500
                 ^^^^           ^^^^^             ^^^            ^^^^
              # blocks          Block           # files          File
                 used           limit             used           limit
   

    

2. At the command prompt type vdiskuse
   This will show a byte usage for all of the directories under the current working directory (similar to the UNIX du command).

   To check the space of a specific subhost, you can enter the path of the subhosts's directory. For example:
   
   

   vdiskuse ~/www/htdocs/vhosts/[subhost-directory]
   
   
   If you are inside the [subhost-directory] you just type "vdiskuse"
