[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 880638, member: 71075"] That way measures base 10 though, which can be misleading. I would recommend [I]df -hl[/I], which measures in base 2 (a more "accurate" representation of your HD) along with ignoring mounts that won't be of concern to a regular user such as devfs (-l option). For instance, using df and measuring in base 10 (-H) tells me that I have 201GB of free space, when in fact I have 187.3GB of free space (-h reports back 187GB). [/QUOTE]
