Also remember that deleting a file that has an open file handle/descriptor does not remove the file from the disk until that handle is closed. lsof should be used to determine what is holding the file open. Then that daemon can be restarted to clear the open file handle.

NAME

       Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage - Collect linux disk usage.

SYNOPSIS

	   use Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage;

	   my $lxs  = new Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage;
	   my $stat = $lxs->get;

DESCRIPTION

       Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage gathers the disk usage with the command "df".

       For more information read the documentation of the front-end module Sys::Statistics::Linux.

DISK USAGE INFORMATIONS

       Generated by /bin/df -kP.

	   total       -  The total size of the disk.
	   usage       -  The used disk space in kilobytes.
	   free        -  The free disk space in kilobytes.
	   usageper    -  The used disk space in percent.
	   mountpoint  -  The moint point of the disk.

   GLOBAL VARS
       If you want to change the path or arguments for "df" you can use the following variables...

	   $Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage::DF_PATH = '/bin';
	   $Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage::DF_CMD  = 'df -akP';

       Example:

	   use Sys::Statistics::Linux;
	   use Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage;
	   $Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage::DF_CMD = 'df -akP';

	   my $sys  = Sys::Statistics::Linux->new(diskusage => 1);
	   my $disk = $sys->get;

METHODS

   new()

	   my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage->new;

       It's possible to set the path to df.

	    Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskUsage->new(
	       cmd => {
		   # This is the default
		   path => '/bin',
		   df	=> 'df -kP 2>/dev/null',
	       }
	   );

   get()
       Call "get()" to get the statistics. "get()" returns the statistics as a hash reference.

	   my $stat = $lxs->get;
