The CLI way
The df utility displays the disk space usage on all mounted filesystems. The -T option prints the filesystem type as well. By default, df measures the size in 1K blocks, which could be a little difficult for a desktop user to decipher. Use the -h option to get more understandable output:
$ df -h -T
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
