'df -h' will show you available space on partition and print it in human-readable form. All that means is that instead of saying 1000, it will say 1K, or 1000000 is 1M.
The 'du -sh' command is also another helpful command. It will show you how much space a directory is using.
The command similar to chkdsk in DOS is 'fsck'.
