Linux Tip: Simplify Disk Usage Output

Scenario: A server is running low on disk space.

df -h \

| grep -v tmpfs \

| awk '{print $6, $5}' \

| sed 's/%//g'

What this does:

• Filters out temporary filesystems

• Shows only the mount point and usage percentage

• Strips the percent sign for cleaner output

Outcome: An easy-to-read overview of disk usage to quickly spot storage pressure.
