Linux “df” command

Linux “df” command

I always found funny that the Linux command I used to check disk space usage to see how my disk is coming full is the command “df”. Is there an easier command to remember: dfdisk full. 🙂

Yes, I know, it stands for “disk filesystem” but it’s so easy to remember by thinking as “disk full”.

I like to verify the room available on different drive and have a kind of report we can look will a simple glance. Also, it is particularly useful when you have two drive that one should be the copy of the other. You may quickly see if the numbers match together.
