SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps system administrators quickly assess disk space usage and filesystem health across Linux systems, reducing manual inspection time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Filesystem overview: Provides a snapshot of disk usage, inode usage, and block device structure to identify space pressure.
  • Directory analysis: Locates large directories and files to reclaim space and optimize storage.
  • Use Case: Imagine managing a server with limited disk space. Run this Skill to generate a concise report of mounts, usage, and large files to guide cleanup decisions.

Quick Start

Run the included script to produce a disk usage overview: ./scripts/diskinfo.sh

FAQPage Schema
How do I check disk usage and filesystem health on a Linux server?

You can analyze disk usage by running a bundled shell script that leverages standard Linux utilities such as df, du, and lsblk to output a deterministic, human-readable report of mounting information and large-file identification.

What is the best way to find large files and directories for Linux storage cleanup?

Finding large files for storage cleanup involves running a disk analysis script that uses the du utility to locate large directories and files, providing a concise overview to guide your cleanup decisions and optimize storage.

Does this disk usage analysis tool require any special dependencies or agents?

No special dependencies are required. The disk usage analysis relies entirely on standard Linux utilities such as df, du, lsblk, and mount that are already available on the system to produce filesystem health reports.

Can I get an overview of block device structure and inode usage on Linux?

Yes, you can get an overview of block device structure and inode usage. The tool provides a snapshot of disk usage, inode usage, and block device structure using lsblk and df to identify space pressure across filesystems.

Why does my Linux server run out of disk space without large files showing up?

Running out of disk space without large files may indicate inode exhaustion. A filesystem health assessment reports inode usage alongside block device usage, helping identify space pressure from many small files.
