Drive Space


I am running out of room on my laptop and need a way to see what is where quickly so I can delete cruft. Here are some tools to help me get the raw data. I need to turn it into json and visualize it with d3js. Linux / Unix and their variants have several different ways of determining the available free space and the capacity of a file, drive, a mount, or other share. Below is a listing of commands that can be used to determine this information.
