In order to find the amount of free disk space in your Ubuntu, you can use the df
command.
df
The df
will display the amount of disk space available on your file system containing each file name and argument. If no file name is given, the space available on all currently mounted file systems will be shown.
The output of executing df
command:
root@my-server:~# df

Alternatively, you can use df
with -h
option:
df - h
With -h option, df
will print sizes in human readable format (in powers of 1024 e.g., 1K, 150M, 2G)..
Example output of executing df -h
:
root@my-server:~# df -h
