+Use of du & df commands (with examples)
+======
+In this article I will discuss du & df commands. Both du & df commands are important utilities of Linux system & shows disk usage of Linux filesystem. Here we will share usage of both commands with some examples.
+
+**(Recommended Read:[Files transfer using scp & rsync commands][1])**
+
+ **(Also Read:[Cloning Disks using dd & cat commands for Linux systems][2])**
+
+### du COMMAND
+
+du command (short for disk usage) is useful command which is used to find disk usage for files & directories. du command when used with various options provides results in many formats.
+
+Some of the examples are mentioned below:-
+
+ **1- To find out summary of disk usage for a directory with all its sub-directories**
+
+```
+ $ du /home
+```
+
+![du command][4]
+
+Output of the command shows all the files & directories in /home with block size.
+
+**2- Disk usage with file/directory sizes in human readable format I.e. in kb, mb etc**
+
+```
+ $ du -h /home
+```
+
+![du command][6]
+
+**3- Total disk size of a directory**
+
+```
+ $ du -s /home
+```
+
+![du command][8]
+
+It will total size of /home directory.
+
+### df COMMAND
+
+df command (short for disk filesystem) is used to show disk utilization for a Linux system.
+
+Some examples are shared below.
+
+ **1- To display information of device name, total blocks, total disk space, used disk space, available disk space and mount points on a file system.**
+
+```
+ $ df
+```
+
+
+![df command][10]
+
+**2- Information in human readable format**
+
+```
+ $ df -h
+```
+
+![df command][12]
+
+Above command displays information in human readable format.
+
+**3- Display information of a particular partition**
+
+```
+ $ df -hT /etc
+```
+
+![df command][14]
+
+Using -hT with a target directory will show information of /etc/ in human readable format.
+
+Though there are many more options that can be used with du & df commands, but these should get you started. If you don't find what you are looking for here then you can always refer to man pages for the concerned command.
+
+Also, read my other posts [**HERE**][15] where i have shared some other important & frequently used Linux.
+
+And as always your comments/queries are really appreciated, so please leave your comments/queries down below & I will get back to you.
