You can also see something similar to disk usage indicator either by running
or
Menu > search for "System Monitor" > File Systems
Code: Select all
gnome-system-monitor
Menu > search for "System Monitor" > File Systems
Re: disk usage indicator icon like windows 7
There are three apps that I know of that will give you a graphical representation of disk usage similar to, but more detailed than, the Windows program you refer to.
Disk Usage Analyzer
Installed by default as part of original install.
Access Menu=>Accessories=>Disk Usage Analyzer
Disk Utility
Also called Palimpsest in Package Manager. Also part of original install.
Access Menu=>Accessories=>Disk Utility
Gparted
Not installed. Install via Software or Package Manager.
Access (when installed) Menu=>Other=>Gparted

Not sure, if there is an indicator built into File Manager. I run KDE and i think Dolphin shows space left left in status bar.
When I hit the max space, i use 'du' to identify the big files and clean up unnecessary files to get back the space.
Came across 'agedu' utility recently. http://www.linux.org/article/view/view- ... with-agedu
Looks like, Filelight is an option for KDE users.

If its a concern where you would like to monitor the use constantly then Conky is just the ticket.
You chose what you would like to monitor and make it persistent on your desktop.
Tho this does not run in your file manager it is a better solution than Windows, i have mine showing a transparent clock and CPU temp.
See the forum topics under Compiz, Conky, Docks, & Widgets
Have fun

Does it have to be grahpic and constantly monitored, or do you want a quick look now and then to keep track of the current status?
I usually use
to have a look at the status of disk usage. I really like the presentation of it.
