If I want to read the stats about hard disk, such as % used, how large is that partition etc.... How to do it in the command line?
thanks

Use these

Code:

df

By default it will give the file system (mounted partition), size, used, available, usage% and the mount point.

For a more human friendly output use this

Code:

df -h

This will give the output in GBs and MBs.

Note that this will not show stats if the partition you want is not mounted.

To see a list of partitions available try this

Code:

fdisk -l
