`df' and `du' come to mind.

excerpts from the man pages:

NAME
       df - summarize free disk space
[...]
DESCRIPTION
       [...]
       This manual page documents the GNU version of df.  df dis­
       plays the amount of disk space available on the filesystem
       containing each file name argument.  If no  file  name  is
       given,  the  space  available  on  all  currently  mounted
       filesystems is shown.[...]

NAME
       du - summarize disk usage
[...]
DESCRIPTION
       [...]
       This manual page documents the GNU version of du.  du dis­
       plays  the  amount of disk space used by each argument and
       for each subdirectory of directory arguments.[...]

Hope this helps!
Noel
