df -h
Explanation:
df: This command stands for "disk free" and reports the amount of disk space used and available on Linux filesystems.-h: This option stands for "human-readable" format, which makes the output easier to read by showing sizes in KB, MB, GB, etc.
Sample Output:
When you run the df -h command, you might see output similar to the following:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 40G 25G 15G 63% /
udev 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 384M 1.2M 383M 1% /run
/dev/sda2 100G 50G 50G 50% /home
Additional Tips:
- Specific Filesystem: To view the space for a specific filesystem, add its path at the end of the command, like so:
df -h /home
- Inodes: To check free inodes instead of disk space, use the
-i option:
df -i
