more room on /tmp

[sirron]

I need to calculate the disk space on /tmp

How would I calculate 512 block byte to find MB

right now I have 327680 blocks for my /tmp

can some show me how to calculate this to MB

Just do df -m /tmp

 

[sirron]

# df -m /tmp
df: Not a recognized flag: m
Usage: df [-P] | [-IMitv] [-k] [-s] [filesystem ...] [file ...]

 

[KenCunningham]

OK, an earlier version?

So:

327680 * 512 = 167772160 Bytes

167772160 / 1024 / 1024 = 160 Mb

HTH.

This does the same as the last post, but in one step:

327680/2/1024 = 160Mb.


Cheers,
John

Quite right, John. I was trying to explain the process from byte level as sirron doesn't seem to have quite grasped the principles yet!

You can try these also..

# du -sk /tmp

and

# df -kt /tmp
