Check Disk Usage with magento-cloud mount:size Command

Running a store on Adobe Commerce Cloud (Magento Cloud) means working with multiple environments like production, staging, and integration. Each environment has limited disk space. If storage gets full, deployments may fail or the site may crash.

Luckily, Adobe provides a simple CLI command:

magento-cloud mount:size

magento-cloud mount:size

This command shows the storage usage of different mounts (like var, pub/media, or tmp) in your cloud project. Let’s break it down with examples.

Syntax of the Command

magento-cloud mount:size -p <project-id> -e <environment>

magento-cloud mount:size -p <project-id> -e <environment>

Example: Checking Disk Usage in Staging

Suppose you want to check the staging environment of a project with ID phoshzbzzzzvm. Run:

magento-cloud mount:size -p phoshzbzzzzvm -e staging

magento-cloud mount:size -p phoshzbzzzzvm -e staging

Sample Output:

This helps you see where your storage is being consumed. For example, pub/media often grows large due to product images.

Common Use Cases

• Before Deployment – Check free space to avoid failed builds.
• Debugging Issues – Identify if logs, media, or cache are consuming too much space.
• Proactive Monitoring – Regularly check storage usage in staging/production.

Best Practices

• Run magento-cloud mount:size weekly for production environments.
• Clean unused logs and reports if /var is filling up.
• Use a CDN or remote storage for pub/media if it grows too large.
• Contact Adobe support if you need more allocated storage.

Conclusion

The magento-cloud mount:size command is a quick and reliable way to check disk usage per environment in Adobe Commerce Cloud. By using the project ID (-p) and environment (-e) flags, you can monitor storage consumption in staging, production, or integration. Regularly running this command helps prevent downtime and keeps your Magento store healthy.
