View disk space commands in Linux

In Windows, you can easily view disk space. But in Linux, you may be confused about the disk space. Don't worry. I will solve this problem for you.

In Linux, the DF command is used to view the disk space system in disk partitions. You can add parameters to view the remaining disk space information. The command format is as follows:

DF-Hl

In Linux, the disk space display format is:

File System capacity used available % mount point

Filesystem size used avail use % mounted on

/Dev/hda2 45g 19G 24g 44%/

/Dev/hda1 494 M 19 m 450 m 4%/boot

/Dev/hda6 4.9g 2.2g 2.5g 47%/home

/Dev/hda5 9.7g 2.9g 6.4g 31%/OPT

None 1009 M 0 1009 M 0%/dev/SHM

/Dev/hda3 9.7g 7.2g 2.1g 78%/usr/local

/Dev/hdb2 75g 75g 0 100%/

/Dev/hdb2 75g 75g 0 100%/

The preceding output is used as an example to indicate:

HD hard disk interface second hard disk (B), second partition (2), capacity is 75g, 75g used, available is 0, so the utilization is 100%, mounted to the root partition directory (/).

The following is an explanation of the Linux disk space command:

DF-Hl view the remaining disk space

DF-H: view the partition size of each root path

Du-SH [directory name] returns the directory size

Du-Sm [Folder] returns the total number of MB in this folder.

For more functions, run the following command:

DF -- Help

Du -- Help
