Howto Find Out or Learn Harddisk Size in Linux or UNIX

To find out the size of a hard disk on a Linux or Unix-like system, you can use the fdisk command to display the partition table for the disk, and the df command to display the usage and capacity of the file systems on the disk.

  1. Use the fdisk command to display the partition table for the disk. For example, to display the partition table for the /dev/sda disk, you can use the following command:
fdisk -l /dev/sda

This will display the partition table for the /dev/sda disk, including the size of each partition.

  1. Use the df command to display the usage and capacity of the file systems on the disk. For example, to display the usage and capacity of all file systems on the system, you can use the following command:
df -h

This will display the file system type, mount point, usage, and capacity of all file systems on the system, in human-readable format.

To display the usage and capacity of a specific file system, you can specify the file system or mount point as an argument. For example, to display the usage and capacity of the / file system, you can use the following command:

df -h /

This will display the usage and capacity of the / file system.

You can find more information about the fdisk and df commands and their options in the fdisk and df documentation or by running the fdisk --help and df --help commands.
