| + | One of the important things you may find yourself doing is trying to find out how much space you are using. Since this is a shared volume monitoring how much of it you have left with df does not work. We strongly advise against using du to find out how much space is being used due to how read intensive this action can be. Fortunately there is a fast easy way for you to monitor how much space is being used in your volume. Due to the type of storage this is the ls utility will actually summarize how much space is under a particular folder. For this example I will use my fictional 3TB storage lease to demonstrate. | ||

| + | |||
| + | I see in the output of ls -alh that the directory I am in, and all directories under it are consuming around 897GB of space. I see that 586GB of that is in mctdh... 235GB of it is in rlhaffer 76GB of it is in src, and 258 bytes are in weaverjon. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It is important to note, that while this is an easy way for you to get a quick breakdown of your storage space, and where it is being used, the number does not update immediately. For instance, I could navigate down a few folder levels into mctdh and remove several large files and come back up to find that the output of ls hasn't changed at this directory level yet. This change happens asynchronously on the file server, so it may take some time for the changes to be reflected in ls at the root level of your storage lease. | ||
