df
Reading the systemPackage: coreutils
The space on each filesystem, in blocks or with -i in inodes. A "full" disk while df -h shows room is almost always a df -i at 100%.
What its options do in the lessons
From the same glossary the lessons render under their commands, so the two cannot disagree.
df -h- Human-readable sizes (
4.3Ginstead of4508876). df -i- Counts *inodes* rather than bytes. A disk can run out of inodes while still reporting free space.
df --output- Chooses which columns to print instead of the full table. Useful in a script.
