How Much Disk Space Have I Used?
When you enter a FILE command, a file is stored on a disk.
The disks are identified by letters, known as filemodes. The
filemode that you usually use when you create a file is "A."
That means that your file is put on your A-disk. You can
find out how much disk space is left with this command:
===> Query DISK A
If you do not specify the disk letter, VM/PC displays the
disk information for all currently-accessed disks.
The response is a message similar to this:
lABEL CUU M STAT CYl TYPE BlKSIZE FilES BlKS USED-(%) BlKS lEFT BlK TOTAL
mydisk 101 A R/W FB C:PC 1024 8 206-20 818 1024
The disk label is mydisk. The "address" of the disk (where
the disk is) is 101. The filemode letter is A. R/W means
that you can read and write on this disk. Some disks are
R/O, which means "read only." That is, you can't write a
file on them. The fields labeled CYL, TYPE, and BLKSIZE
give information about the amount of space on this particular
disk device and how that space is organized. FILES tells you
how many files you have on the A-disk. BLKS USED shows
the percentage of the space you have used. Here, you see
that
20%
of this disk is used. Therefore,
800/0
of this A-disk
is still available.
