Listing mount points with df

Now that we know the rough disk layout of our system, we might want to know all of the other mount points, too. This is easily achieved with a program called df:

$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 39269648 849960 38419688 3% /devtmpfs 239968 0 239968 0% /devtmpfs 249712 0 249712 0% /dev/shmtmpfs 249712 4572 245140 2% /runtmpfs 249712 0 249712 0% /sys/fs/cgroup/dev/sda2 1038336 64076 974260 7% /boottmpfs 49944 0 49944 0% /run/user/1000

For better, human-readable output, we can use -h:

$ df -hFilesystem                       Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00   38G  831M   37G   3% /devtmpfs                         235M     0  235M   0% /devtmpfs                            244M     0  244M   0% /dev/shmtmpfs 244M 4.5M 240M 2% ...
