If you’d like to know the true size of an InfluxDB database on disk.

(The name of the influxdb volume v\_influxdb must be adapted)

**Edge computer :**

> du -h -d 1 /var/lib/docker/volumes/v\_influxdb/\_data/data

**PFC / CC100 / Edge controller / TP600 / WP400 controllers (on internal flash) :**

> du -h -d 1 /home/docker/volumes/v\_influxdb/\_data/data

**PFC / CC100 / Edge controller / TP600 / WP400 (on memory card):**

> du -h -d 1 /media/sd/docker/volumes/v\_influxdb/\_data/data
