What is Disk space usage?
Disk space usage indicates how much space a system uses to perform various tasks or run a program.

To check Linux disk space usage:

'--output' lets you check disk usage in a specific format.

The percentage of a computer's storage that is now being used is referred to as disk usage (DU). In contrast, the total amount of space that a specific disk is capable of storing is known as disk space or capacity. Kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and/or terabytes are often used units to describe disk utilisation (TB).
