Show Disk Space Usage For All Mounted File Systems In Human Readable Format
df -h
is a command used in Linux to display the disk usage statistics for all mounted file systems in human-readable format. Here's what each part of the command does:
-
df
: This is the command for "disk free", used to display disk usage statistics. -
-h
: This is an option that tellsdf
to display the sizes in "human-readable" format, using units such as KB, MB, GB, etc., instead of raw bytes.
When you run df -h
, the command will output a list of all mounted file systems on your system, along with their usage statistics. Each line of the output will show the following information:
-
Filesystem: The name of the file system.
-
Size: The total size of the file system.
-
Used: The amount of disk space used on the file system.
-
Available: The amount of free disk space on the file system.
-
Use%: The percentage of the file system that is currently in use.
Here's an example of what the output of df -h
might look like:
ubuntu@user: df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 20G 4.7G 15G 24% /
/dev/sdb1 100G 80G 20G 80% /home
In this example, you can see that there are two mounted file systems: /dev/sda1
and /dev/sdb1
. /dev/sda1
has a total size of 20 GB, with 4.7 GB used and 15 GB available. /dev/sdb1
has a total size of 100 GB, with 80 GB used and 20 GB available.
