df
PURPOSE
Reports number of available disk blocks.
SYNOPSIS
df [ -s ] [filesystem...]
DESCRIPTION
The df command writes to standard output information
about total space and available space on the specified
file systems. filesystem can be the name of the device
on which the file system resides or the directory on
which it is mounted. If you do not specify filesystem,
df uses each file system in /etc/filesystems that has the
attribute "free=true".
Normally, df uses free counts maintained in the super-
block. Under certain exceptional circumstances, these
counts may be in error.
If a file system is being actively modified at the
instant df is run, the free count may be inaccurate.
FLAG
-s Checks for count errors by forcing df to fully search
the free lists to verify the counts. The df command
requires considerably more processing time when the -s
flag is specified.
EXAMPLES
1. To list information about all default file systems:
df
If your system is configured so that the /, /usr, /u,
and /tmp directories reside in separate file systems,
the output from the df command looks something like
this:
Device Mounted on total free used ifree used
/dev/hd0 / 19368 9976 48% 4714 5%
/dev/hd1 /usr 24212 4808 80% 5031 19%
/dev/hd2 /u 9744 9352 4% 1900 4%
/dev/hd5 /tmp 3868 3856 0% 986 0%
2. To list information about the file system on a
diskette:
df /dev/fd0
3. To list information about the file system normally
mounted as /diskette0:
df /diskette0
