Calculating Disc Space
Ok....

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

I simply want to know how to take the results of a dfspace or df command and be able to know how to determine how much disk space is either used or remaining.

1$ dfspace
Filesystem 512-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 32768 19896 40% 1227 15% /
/dev/hd2 802816 277248 66% 1035 11% /usr
/dev/hd9var 32768 22480 32% 201 5% /var
/dev/hd3 65536 44680 32% 137 2% /tmp
/dev/hd1 16384 15568 5% 126 7% /home
/dev/lv00 98304 43992 56% 355 3% /versyss
/dev/lv01 6012928 1989648 67% 5022 1% /versyss/data

1$ df -k
Filesystem 1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 16384 9948 40% 1227 15% /
/dev/hd2 401408 138624 66% 11035 11% /usr
/dev/hd9var 16384 11240 32% 201 5% /var
/dev/hd3 32768 22340 32% 137 2% /tmp
/dev/hd1 8192 7784 5% 126 7% /home
/dev/lv00 49152 21996 56% 355 3% /versyss
/dev/lv01 3006464 994824 67% 5022 1% /versyss/data


One section shows 512-blocks and the other shows 1024-blocks

I am sure there is a simple procedure for calculating disk space..

Please help =)

repartit

REPARTITION(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    REPARTITION(8)

NAME

       repartition - load a partition table

SYNOPSIS

       repartition device [partition-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Repartition  uploads  a new partition table for the partitions of device.  The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
       given, device otherwise.  Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload  a  partition
       or a subpartition table.  The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
       are coming from partition-file.

EXAMPLES

       repartition /dev/hd0
       repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table

       Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file.  The
       latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The new table is printed on standard output.

FILES

       /dev/hd[0-9]

SEE ALSO

       hd(4), part(8).

BUGS

       The disk must be in use for the changes to stick.  The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
