How do I check disk space used on Linux Hosting Account
To check disk space you first need to access your shared Linux account using ssh. After you have logged into your account you can verify your disk space by using the "du" command as illustrated below:
[brinkster@yuma3 ~] du -sh
122M .
As you can see we are currently using 122M of disk space. Also note that this is the same method used by our staff to monitor and check your disk space utilization. If you have recently updated your website and are concerned about storage limits you can verify it before it becomes a problem using this command.
