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

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>

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

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.
