df(1B)
NAME
df - display status of disk space on file systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/df [-a] [-i] [-t type] [filesystem...]
[filename...]
DESCRIPTION
The df utility displays the amount of disk space occupied by
currently mounted file systems, the amount of used and
available space, and how much of the file system's total
capacity has been used.
If arguments to df are path names, df produces a report on
the file system containing the named file. Thus `df .'
shows the amount of space on the file system containing the
current directory.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Report on all filesystems including the uninteresting
ones which have zero total blocks (that is, auto-
mounter).
-i Report the number of used and free inodes. Print ` * '
if no information is available.
-t type
Report on filesystems of a given type (for example,
nfs or ufs).
USAGE
When a UFS file system is mounted with logging enabled, file
system transactions that free blocks from files might not
actually add those freed blocks to the file system's free
list until some unspecified time in the future. This
behavior improves file system performance but does not con-
form to the POSIX, Single UNIX Specification, SPARC Confor-
mance Definition, System V Application Binary Interface,
System V Interface Definition, and X/Open Portability Guide
Standards, which require that freed space be available
immediately. To enable standards conformance regarding file
deletions or to address the problem of not being able to
grow files on a relatively full UFS file system even after
files have been deleted, disable UFS logging (see
mount_ufs(1M).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Output sample
A sample of output for df looks like:
example% df
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
sparky:/ 7445 4714 1986 70% /
sparky:/usr 42277 35291 2758 93% /usr
Note that used+avail is less than the amount of space in the
file system (kbytes); this is because the system reserves a
fraction of the space in the file system to allow its file
system allocation routines to work well. The amount reserved
is typically about 10%; this may be adjusted using tunefs
(see tunefs(1M)). When all the space on a file system except
for this reserve is in use, only the super-user can allocate
new files and data blocks to existing files. When a file
system is overallocated in this way, df may report that the
file system is more than 100% utilized.
