The space Command

The space Command

Disk space summaries are displayed at the end of the output from list and step commands. You can request a disk space summary at other times in the session by issuing the space command, as shown in this example:

Admin> space
Disk space summary (Kbytes):    /
Current free space               426132
- Selections net change            2853+
- Temporary inst overhead             2+
= Minimum free during install    424867
Final projected free space       424967

The space command does not force a recalculation of disk space (see the discussion of recalculate, which follows), so if you enter the space command before space calculation are performed, the net change amount is shown as 0 blocks, even if you have made installation or removal selections.

The output of space is affected by the filesystems command on the View Commands menu (see "The filesystems Command") and by the delayspacecheck preference (see "Delaying Disk Space Checking"). For more information on space checking, see "Controlling Disk Space Checks and Reports".
