Display File System Stats

The df command yields the amount of free space available on each file system. It tells you how many kbytes are available, what has been used, what is free, the capacity, and where the filesystem has been mounted.

Its a good command to check out when you suddenly become aware of a space issue.

Try df -h

the -h is for human readable, it will display sizes with mb, gb, kb, or whatever is the best match.
