One problem with the "df" command is that you get a list of all of the disks on your system, rather than just the one that you are interested in. Even though it was pretty easy to determine which disk contained your home directory on the previous page, it can actually be quite difficult at times to determine which disk particular files are stored on. Fortunately, there is a way to get the "df" command to figure out which disk contains a particular file or directory and then display statistics only for that disk. For example, if you wanted to get statistics for the disk where your home directory resides, you would type df ~ Type the command to find out how much disk space is free on the disk where your current directory resides.
