Hi,

I have a Ubuntu server (8.04 Hardy Heron) that surprisingly appears to
be running very short of space.

Disk Usage Analyzer is reporting file system capacity as 4.9 GB.  But I
am sure this is wrong.  My question is, how can I confirm this?

The output df is as follows:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3              5147012   4334312    551244  89% /
varrun                  127744       116    127628   1% /var/run
varlock                 127744         0    127744   0% /var/lock
udev                    127744        52    127692   1% /dev
devshm                  127744        12    127732   1% /dev/shm

The output of "sudo parted /dev/sda3 print unit s print unit chs print"
is:

Disk /dev/sda3: 5355MB

Number  Start  End         File system  Flags
 1      0,0,0  650,254,62  ext3              

Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

How can I verify that more space is in fact available?  If it is
available, how would I avail myself of it?

Many thanks for any advice!
