    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    The 'df' command is fine. IE:
    Code:
    df /
df /root
    Note that /root is the home directory for the root (administrator) user account, where / is the root directory for the system.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
