Linux disk space
Posted by Eric Stein - March 2, 2007 CE @ 07:04:06 UTC
On my *nix boxes, I often find myself using df to check my free space. Unfortunately the Linux pseudo-filesystems such as /dev and /dev/shm clutter up the space with useless info. As usual, it took me a year to realize I could do something about it, so it wasn't until now that I wrote this shell script:
Using this script, you will see the same thing as the output of df -h, but showing only the filesystems that are 'real' (a device or file is mounted, not a kernel structure or network filesystems.
Much prettier, no?
#!/bin/sh
mount|egrep "^/"|cut -f3 -d' '|xargs df -h
mount|egrep "^/"|cut -f3 -d' '|xargs df -h
Using this script, you will see the same thing as the output of df -h, but showing only the filesystems that are 'real' (a device or file is mounted, not a kernel structure or network filesystems.
