NAME

df − display free and used disk space

SYNTAX

df [ −i ] [ filesystem... ] [ file... ]

DESCRIPTION

The df command displays the amount of disk space available on the specified filesystem, for example, /dev/ra0a.  It will also display the amount of available disk space on the file system in which the specified file is contained, $HOME for example.  If a device is given that has no file systems mounted on it, df displays the information for the root file system.  Without any arguments or options, df displays both the used disk space and the free disk space on all of the file systems that have been mounted using the fstab file.  The numbers are reported in kilobytes. 

EXAMPLES

Filesystem    total    kbytes  kbytes  percent
   node       kbytes    used    free   used    Mounted on
/dev/ra1a       7429    2085    4602    31%    /tmp
/dev/ra0e      30519   14817   12651    54%    /usr/spool
/dev/ra0h     313233  122858  159052    44%    /usr/staff1

The total disk space is the total space that was created during the making of the file system.  The addition of the used space, the free space and a percentage of reserved space is the total space.  The default value for the reserved space is 10%. 

OPTIONS

−i In addition to disk information, report the number of free inodes and the number of used inodes. 

RESTRICTIONS

You can no longer use the df command to find free space on an unmounted file system using the block or character special device name.  Instead, use the dumpfs(8) command. 

FILES

/etc/fstablist of mounted filesystems
