df.mdwn

Displays filesystem and disk usage statistics.

• df -h - Shows the capacity and usage of all mounted filesystems, displaying the sizes in human-readable units, e.g.

    Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sda5             100G  8.9G   86G  10% /
    tmpfs                 496M     0  496M   0% /lib/init/rw
    varrun                496M  108K  496M   1% /var/run
    varlock               496M     0  496M   0% /var/lock
    udev                  496M   88K  496M   1% /dev
    tmpfs                 496M   88K  496M   1% /dev/shm
    lrm                   496M  2.0M  494M   1% /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/volatile
  

• df -h /home - Restricts the output above to the filesystem on which the given directory is mounted, e.g.

    Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sda5             100G  8.9G   86G  10% /
  

• df -h /dev/sda5 works in the same way.
