"df -h" will show the free space on all mounted filesystems in a
human-readable format. If you're interested in how much space a
directory and all its subdirectories uses, "du -sh /path/to/dir" will
show a -summary for /path/to/dir in -human-readable format.

Use smartctl -a (or ide-smart) to display the Self-Monitoring, Analysis,
and Reporting Technology report(s) for IDE disks. There's no real
analogue for SCSI disks, though looking at dmesg's output is useful
since SCSI peripherals typically report problems to the kernel log.
dmesg is also useful for displaying general "warning messages", though
you should be more specific about what it is you want to be warned of.
