I am new to Linux. I have remote root SSH access to the machine. I will like to know the amount of free storage space on the drives in various partitions. Is there any command or utility to know this?

We can use the “df” command at the terminal prompt to get a report on the available space. The output will look similar to this:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5            111148100   1575952 103926108   2% /
/dev/sda1               101086      8471     87396   9% /boot
none                    517428         0    517428   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3              2063536     36936   1921776   2% /tmp
/dev/scd0               593958    593958         0 100% /cdrom

(The information shown above if from a machine at my place of study.)
