Linux and CMS use disks completely differently.. Linux will use a minidisk as a partition either directly (such as /dev/dasda1 being mounted as a filesystem) -- or as part of an LVM volume group. It also may not use the minidisk at all..
On Linux -- a 'df -h' command should show you usage of the mounted filesystems. To relate that to a minidisk is possible if the minidisk is a single partition and mounted -- but much more difficult if it's part of an LVM volume group. There are various commands you can issue from Linux to figure it all out: - lsdasd tells you what minidisk address is assigned to which dasd device (e.g. dasda, dasdb, etc) - vgdisplay -v will lists what dasd partitions make are part of a volume group Relate those things to what 'df' shows and you can 'maybe' figure out how full each disk is.. but I would not approach it this way... You want to view usage at the Linux level - and not the physical disk level. The way CMS uses disks, it makes sense -- but Linux can use them in a variety of ways.
