Deployment Disk Size question
If i go to the dashboard and check my storage space i see there is no free space, i understand that, but how do i know if my disk is really becoming full? I got almost 4 GB of data to transfer from my site to this server, so is there a way to check it?
Would it be better to build the system using the minimun size (500 MB)? And if so, do i need to create another partition or something, or the space left can be used to store my site without doing anything?
Thanks a lot for any help.

df -h
will show you how much of the disk you have used.

You can leave it as it is. Shrinking the main partition and storing your data on a separate partition requires (a) that you keep sufficient space for log files and the like on the main partition [and the system will behave strangely or break if you get this wrong] and (b) create the extra partition and mount it.
