11 df Command Examples in Linux
11 ‘df’ Command Examples in Linux
df (disk free) command is used to display disk usage of the file system. By default df command shows the file system usage in 1K blocks for all the current mounted file system, if you want to display the output of df command in human readable format , use -h option like “df -h”.
df（磁碟空間）命令用於顯示檔案系統的磁碟使用情況。預設情況下，df命令以1K塊的形式顯示當前所有已掛載檔案系統的檔案系統使用情況，如果要以人類可讀格式顯示df命令的輸出，請使用-h選項，例如“ df -h”
In this post we will discuss 11 different examples of ‘df‘ command in Linux

Sample Output of df :
