You will need the du command to find the disk usage of a directory. But it will not show you the percentage usage. You could try ncdu utility for getting a graphical (% usage) view of disk usage by direcories

Does unix ever misreport free space? We're having a problem running a utility, and the error message looks for all the world like the utility has no free space for its work files:
HOST ERROR(D10681C). No space left on device.
But the device itself shows ample free space.

QUOTA(1) BSD General Commands Manual QUOTA(1)
NAME
quota -- display disk usage and limits
SYNOPSIS
quota [-ghu] [-v | -q]
quota [-hu] [-v | -q] user
quota [-gh] [-v | -q] group
quota -d [-gh] [-v | -q]
DESCRIPTION
quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.
Options:
-d Query the kernel for default user or group quota instead of a specific user or group.
-g Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The optional -u flag is equivalent to the default.
-h Numbers are displayed in a human readable format.
-q Print a more terse message, containing only information on file systems where usage is over quota.
-v quota will display quotas on file systems where no storage is allocated.
Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the group quotas (for the user).
Only the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user argument to view the limits of other users. Non-super-users can use the -g
flag and optional group argument to view only the limits of groups of which they are members.
Only the super-user may use the -d flag.
The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.
quota tries to report the quotas of all mounted file systems. If the file system is mounted via NFS it will attempt to contact the
rpc.rquotad(8) daemon on the NFS server. If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more file systems are over quota.

The quota command appeared in 4.2BSD.
