df -h
This only shows mounted partitions, so mount them first then check.

Cool

System monitor probably gets it's info from df. There are several gui options for this, but when I want hard cold numbers, why not just fire up a terminal and type:
df -h
It shows how much is used, how much total and how much available.

Cool
