The parted command displays the total size of the disk & the
space allocated to partitions. The remaining space (size)
not allocated to partitions is the unallocated space
OR
# fdisk -l ==> to view the size of the disk
# df -h ==> to view the size of the partitions
The remaining (balance) size is the unallocated size
