I think that 'df' with it's various options should work for showing disk space available & in use. Also, 'du' with it's various options shows the disk usage for a certain directory and below. As far as fragmenting, I *believe* that that was one of the points behind a journaling file system like ext3, RieserFS, JFS, XFS, etc. If you happen to have something older like ext2, my guess is 'fsck' will have something to do with it.

I hope this helps.
