The command mount shows which file system (device and type) is mounted at which mount point:
tester@linux:~> mount /dev/hda3 on / type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/hda4 on /local type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,fs=floppyfss,procuid)
Obtain information about total usage of the file systems with the
command df. The parameter -h
(or --human-readable) transforms the output into a
form understandable for common users.
tester@linux:~> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 11G 3.2G 6.9G 32% / udev 252M 104K 252M 1% /dev /dev/hda1 16M 6.6M 7.8M 46% /boot /dev/hda4 27G 34M 27G 1% /local
Display the total size of all the files in a given directory and
its subdirectories with the command du. The
parameter -s suppresses the output of detailed
information. -h again transforms the data into a
human-readable form:
tester@linux:~> du -sh /local 1.7M /local
