/proc/cpuinfo

| What do you guys think of this?
I see that there is clearly 2 processors. However, in the section for each processor it says cpu cores :2. Does that make this a dual core dual processor (4 cores)? I also see a core ID, which makes me think possibly it is just 1 processor with 2 cores.
Does anyone know what the flags means?

| No, it's a single processor with 2 cores. There's no Dual Pentium system.

| Your right I did not even think of that.
Another question while I am at it:
/proc/loadavg :
0.00 0.06 0.07 2/151 20308
What do the 4th and 5th values (assuming you start counting at 1)

| Number of running processes / total number of process.
PID of last started process.

| I am hoping you will read this one last time.
I see in /proc/partitions you can see how many blocks are partitioned. How do you determine block size in bytes? Also, is there a way to see the used space on each partition?
Edit: Oh crap this is a double post. Sorry
Mods please merge this, I can't edit the one above this. Sorry
Edit 2:
I see /proc/swaps has one of the partitions in it. Probably the one that hosts apache accounts. I guess again, all I need to know is block size. (1024?)

| typically on linux variants the ssh2 command 'free' will work to display space in use/total space.
Also on most (if not all unix based distros) 'df -h' will work for a human-readable output of the usage on all mount points.

| free' is for memory, not disk.
That is really the one you need. 'man df' for additional options like displaying block in kilobytes (-k) or whatever which is useful within scripts when you need a consistent readout.
'sfdisk -l' will also display blocksize.

| proc/swaps references the swap partition. That's where your memory swapping occurs.

| Problem with getting the disk usage from a command is I don't have shell access in this certain case. I guess the answer cannot be gathered from the /proc directory.
