Linux: Determine free disk space

Determining free disk space on Linux can be done quickly by using the "display free disk space" command.

Open a new Terminal and type the following:

df -h

The output of the df command will list available files systems - their size, usage and available space. The -h option reports the sizes in a "Human-readable" format(i.e Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte ... etc)

Sample output:

$ df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2 465Gi 451Gi 13Gi 98% /
devfs 185Ki 185Ki 0Bi 100% /dev
map -hosts 0Bi 0Bi 0Bi 100% /net
map auto_home 0Bi 0Bi 0Bi 100% /home
