In Linux systems, you can use the following commands to view storage information:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. df command displays the disk space utilization of the file system, including information on used, available, and total space. For example, you can use the df -h command to display storage information in a human-readable format.<\/li>\n
  2. The du command is used to display the disk usage of files or directories. You can utilize the du -h command to display disk usage information in a human-readable format.<\/li>\n
  3. lsblk command: displays information about block devices, including device name, size, mount point, etc. For example, using the lsblk command allows you to view information about all block devices in the system.<\/li>\n
  4. fdisk command: used to display and manage disk partitions. You can use the fdisk -l command to list all disk partition information in the system.<\/li>\n
  5. blkid command: display the UUID and file system type of block devices. For example, using the blkid command allows you to view the UUID and file system type of all block devices in the system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
