Check your Storage
Your attached and mounted volume storage will behave like any other disk/block device in Linux. Here are some commands that can help you to look at your mounted storage blocks and keep track of their usage:
lsblk for Listing Block devices
$ lsblk
df for free disk space
$ df -hT
du for disk usage
du -h <path/to/directory>
Don’t forget you can access the man-pages for these commands like this:
$ man lsblk
$ man df
$ man du
