Errors and warnings are usually informative and important, they provide use with want problems are bugging our systems. But some warnings are outright irritating and one such warning is the balloon displayed at the system tray stating “You are running out of disk space on [drive].

Even though Linux has developed so much in terms of GUI which has become comparable to the latest Aero theme from Microsoft’s stables (especially in KDE environment) the command line becomes an inevitable tool for performing advanced administrative tasks like setting user quotas, compiling from the source to name it a few.
