The function of the DF command in Linux is to check the disk space usage of the Linux server's file system. You can use this command to get information about how much space the hard disk is taking up, and how much space is left. 1. Command format:DF[Options] [file]2. Command function: Displays the available space for the specified disk file. If no file name is specified, all available space for the currently mounted file system will be displayed. By default, disk space is displayed in 1KB, unless the environment variable posixly_correct is specified, which is displayed in 512-byte units3. Command parameters: Required Parameters:-a list of all file systems-h Easy to read mode display-H equals "-H", but the formula, 1k= +, not 1k=1024x768-I display inode information-k block is 1024 bytes-l Show only local file system-m block is 1048576 bytes--no-SyncIgnoreSyncCommand-P output format is POSIX--Syncperform the sync command before obtaining the disk information-T File System type selection parameters:--block-size=< Block Size >Specify chunk size-t< File System Type >displays only disk information for the selected file system-x< File System Type >does not display disk information for the selected file system--Help Display assistance information--version displays release information4. Usage Example: Instance 1: Show disk usage command:DFoutput: [[email protected] log]#DFFile System 1K-Block used available%mount point/dev/sda719840892 890896 17925856 5%//DEV/SDA9203727156 112797500 80413912 -% /opt/dev/sda84956284 570080 4130372 -% /var/dev/sda619840892 1977568 16839184 One% /usr/dev/sda3988116 23880 913232 3% /Boottmpfs16473212 0 16473212 0%/dev/SHM Description: The 1th column of the output list of the DF command in Linux is the pathname of the device file that represents the file system (typically the partition on the hard disk), and the 2nd column gives the number of blocks (1024 bytes) that the partition contains, and the 3rd, 4 columns indicate the number of data blocks used and available respectively. Users may be surprised that 3rd, the sum of 4 column blocks is not equal to the number of blocks in the 2nd column. This is because each of the default partitions leaves a small amount of space for the system administrator to use. The administrator can log in and leave the workspace required to resolve the problem, even when the normal user space is full. Use in list%The column represents the percentage of normal user space used, even if the number reaches 100%, and the partition still leaves room for the system administrator to use. Finally, the mounted on column represents the mount point of the file system.

Linux uses a pointer-like approach to managing disk space mapping. This is also a more critical application
