How do i find free space in my unix?

Hello, I wanted to calculate free space in my unix file system. Here is my direction. I can use df -h command to get the below output.

Code:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
===================================================

/dev/vx/dsk/edcdg/data01vol
                       59G   51G  7.2G  88% /data01
/dev/vx/dsk/edcdg/data02vol
                       59G   52G  6.9G  89% /data02
/dev/vx/dsk/edcdg/data03vol
                       59G   52G  6.7G  89% /data03
/dev/vx/dsk/edcdg/data04vol
                       59G   51G  7.2G  88% /data04
/dev/vx/dsk/edcdg/data05vol
                       59G   49G  9.8G  84% /data05
/dev/vx/dsk/edcdg/data06vol
                       59G   50G  8.9G  85% /data06
/dev/vx/dsk/edcdg/data07vol
                       59G   53G  6.1G  90% /data07
/dev/vx/dsk/edcdg/data08vol
                       59G   52G  6.8G  89% /data08
/dev/vx/dsk/archdg/arch01vol
                       59G  489M   55G   1% /dbArch
/dev/vx/dsk/workdg/work01vol
                      176G   40G  128G  24% /work
/dev/vx/dsk/orasysdg/orasysvol1
                       51G   33G   18G  65% /orasys
/dev/vx/dsk/undodg/undovol1
                       51G  8.1G   41G  17% /undo
/dev/vx/dsk/redodg/redovol1
                       21G  820M   19G   5% /redo01
/dev/vx/dsk/redodg/redovol2
                       21G  820M   19G   5% /redo02
/dev/vx/dsk/redodg/redovol3
                       21G  820M   19G   5% /redo03

===============================================

In each file system, in the AVAIL column, i need to minus 10% and find the grand total. That will be the free space in my server..

How do i do this? I thought of moving this whole output to excel file and deduct 10% from Avail column. But i am not able to move the unix output to excel with correct format.

Code:

$ df -h | awk 'NF == 5 {T+=$3} END {print "Total: " T ".  90% of that is " T*.9}' 
Total: 358.6.  90% of that is 322.74

Your script looks good for linux. I have sun OS server. It is not working correctly for SUN OS machine. The AWK script should behave same way in all unix machine. But somehow not...

Try replacing awk with gawk for SunOS.

Dnbert, gawk is not accepting. it accepts only awk, nawk. It is not giving correct result if we use awk, nawk.

uxydal9878*/export/home/oracle
>uname -a
SunOS uxydal9878 5.10 Generic_138888-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890

uxydal9878*/export/home/oracle
>df -h | nawk 'NF == 5 {T+=$3} END {print "Total: " T ". 90% of that is " T*.9}'
Total: . 90% of that is 0

uxydal9878*/export/home/oracle
>df -h | awk 'NF == 5 {T+=$3} END {print "Total: " T ". 90% of that is " T*.9}'
Total: . 90% of that is 0

uxydal9878*/export/home/oracle
>df -h | gawk 'NF == 5 {T+=$3} END {print "Total: " T ". 90% of that is " T*.9}'
-bash: gawk: command not found

I should have read your entire snippet. Haha, sorry.

Try something like this:

df |grep -v Ava| cut -c 43-52 | awk 'BEGIN {total=0} {total += $1} {total * .9} END {print total}'

I haven't tested this so be weary, especially with that cut. That was just a guesstimation.

Thanks.. I might need to learn more about AWK programming to get this done. But the beauty is, the same code works in linux and does not work in sunos...

df -h | awk 'NF == 5 {T+=$3} END {print "Total: " T ". 90% of that is " T*.9}'
