+====== Working with Storage ======
+To check storage space usage, type:
+<code>
+# df -h
+</code>
+This utility will show a table explaining how much space has been used in your storage devices and partitions as well as how much is remaining. **-h** prints values in //human// format, for more details, see the man page:
+<code>
+# man df
+</code>
+If you want to know how large a directory is, you can find out with //du//:
+<code>
+# du -sk /usr/pkg
+</code>
+The //-s// option asks for the sum or total space used. The //-k// option causes the result to be shown in kilobytes (instead of 512-byte blocks).
+For more information, like other options (**-h** for example) please refer to the man page:
+<code>
+# man du
+</code>
