In today's data-driven environments, overseeing the disk utilization is crucial for maintaining system efficiency and ensuring that sufficient storage space is available at all times. Linux, known for its powerful command-line utilities, offers several native tools such as df and du to help monitor and manage disk space usage effectively. For users of the OpenSUSE distribution, additional add-ons can further enhance this monitoring experience. The df command stands for "disk free" and is primarily used to display the amount of available disk space on all currently mounted file systems. It provides a high-level overview, which is particularly useful for getting a quick snapshot of disk usage on your server or workstation.
