File systems

The df command reports the systems’ disk space usage. If you type the command df at a shell
prompt, the output looks similar to the following:

By default, this utility shows the partition size in 1 kilobyte blocks and the amount of used and
available disk space in kilobytes. To view the information in megabytes and gigabytes, use the
command df -h.

The -h argument stands for human-readable format. The output looks similar to the following:

Virtual memory

In the list of partitions, there is an entry for /dev/shm. This entry represents the systems’ virtual
memory file system.

Space used by files in a directory

The du command displays the estimated amount of space being used by files in a directory. If
you type du at a shell prompt, the disk usage for each of the subdirectories will be displayed in a
list. The total for the current directory and subdirectories will also be shown as the last line in the
list. If you do not want to see the totals for all the subdirectories, use the command du -hs to see
only the total for the directory in human-readable format. Use the du --help command to see
more options.

42.4. Hardware

You can also use the lspci command to list all PCI devices. Use the command

lspci -v for detailed information or

lspci -vv for detailed information plus additional output.
