Synopsis

Availability

Description

df displays the amount of disk space occupied by currently mounted file systems, the amount of used and available space, and how much of the file system’s total capacity has been used.

If arguments to df are path names, df produces a report on the file system containing the named file. Thus ‘df  .’ shows the amount of space on the file system containing the current directory.

Options

-a

Report on all filesystems including the uninteresting ones which have zero total blocks. (that is, auto- mounter)

-i

Report the number of used and free inodes. Print ‘*’ if no information is available.

-t type

Report on filesystems of a given type (for example, nfs or ufs).

Examples

A sample of output for df looks like:

example% df
Filesystem    kbytes    used    avail    capacity    Mounted on
sparky:/     7445     4714    1986       70%        /
sparky:/usr    42277    35291    2758       93%        /usr

Note: used+avail is less than the amount of space in the file system (kbytes); this is because the system reserves a fraction of the space in the file system to allow its file system allocation routines to work well. The amount reserved is typically about 10%; this may be adjusted using tunefs. When all the space on a file system except for this reserve is in use, only the super-user can allocate new files and data blocks to existing files. When a file system is overallocated in this way, df may report that the file system is more than 100% utilized.
