  1. How to calculate the actual usage on Disk Space on a VPS?
  2. I got this VPS with 60GB disk some time back, and according to the VPS control panel i have used up over 80% or 50GB out of the 60GB disk which i got. But when i checked the disk usage on cpanel accounts it's only abt 28GB which is more like the actual Disk usage.

  37. It's available in many repos to install with a package manager (apt, yum, etc) as well.

  42. du -sh * will show sizes of all folders with respect to your current terminal location. cd to / and use root or sudo to see size of all folders on system.
  43.  
  44. df -h will show you drives/space

  46. You can use the command df -h to see the disk usage.

  48. From SSH type: du -csxh /

  50. Since it is cPanel, you can check WHM -> System Health -> Show current disk usage.

  52. It is much better to mount some extra storage before your storage is too full. Many bad things can happen at 90%+ usage. For a 60GB server, you should be very careful as a nightly backup even can add a few GB or more.
