usually user space will be under /home (or /homes ). First check if you have any regular users .
You will need check /etc/passwd file and /home
Then go to /home
cd /home
du -hs *
it will give you how much space used by each user

For Question 2 using df alone or with option -l make no changes in output.

yes , for now .
we talked about -l option last time .
I just wanted to know if you guys remember .
-l means local .
df -hl will show only local file systems .
Right now you do not have any remote file system , so , df -h and df -hl will give same output.
