NAME
df - report number of free disk blocks and inodes
SYNOPSIS
df [ -b ] [ -f ] [ -i ] [ -u ] [ -k ] [ -q ] [ -t types |
name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
df reports disk space usage statistics for the named
filesystems or for all mounted filesystems if none are
named. name may be any filename that corresponds to the
desired filesystem: the disk device, the root of the
filesystem, or any directory or file in that filesystem.
The information supplied is the name of the filesystem, the
type (ffs, nfs, etc.), the number of kbytes available in the
partition, the number of kbytes in use, the number of kbytes
free in the filesystem, the percentage of the available
space that is free, and the name of the root of the filesys-
tem. In addition, if the -i option is given, the number of
inodes available, used, free, and the percentage of free
inodes are also listed.
NOTE: This version of df prints in a Sun/BSD-like format
since the system uses filesystems from these systems.
OPTIONS
-b Print statistics in 512-byte units. The
default is to use 1kbyte (1024-byte)
units.
-f Scan the free list instead of trusting
the values given back by the statfs(2)
system call.
-i Print statistics about inodes in addi-
tion to file space.
-t types Print information about filesystems only
if they match the named types. The
types argument consists of a comma-
separated list of filesystem type names,
such as nfs and ffs. In addition, the
special type local matches any non-NFS
filesystem. Multiple -t options may be
given.
-u Verify that the host associated with an
NFS filesystem is up before attempting
to obtain statistics. This option is
not yet implemented, and will not be if
NFS is changed to not hang for down

ERRORS
Inode counts for NFS entries are always 0 because the NFS
protocol does not supply this information.
An empty filesystem is reported as being partially (usually
10%) full. This is due to the fact that the free space
reported by the operating system is the amount of space that
can be used by a non-superuser, whereas the available space
reported is the total amount of space on the partition. The
above properties will exhibit themselves by allowing free
space to go negative, usage percentage to go over 100% and
blocks used to be greater than total blocks.
