    From source

    Make sure you have a working Go environment (Go 1.23 or higher is required). See the install instructions.

    Compiling duf is easy, simply run:

    root@kitploit:~
    git clone https://github.com/muesli/duf.git
cd duf
go build

    Usage

    You can simply start duf without any command-line arguments:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf

    If you supply arguments, duf will only list specific devices & mount points:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf /home /some/file

    If you want to list everything (including pseudo, duplicate, inaccessible file systems):

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --all

    Filtering

    You can show and hide specific tables:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --only local,network,fuse,special,loops,binds
duf --hide local,network,fuse,special,loops,binds

    You can also show and hide specific filesystems:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --only-fs tmpfs,vfat
duf --hide-fs tmpfs,vfat

    ...or specific mount points:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --only-mp /,/home,/dev
duf --hide-mp /,/home,/dev

    Wildcards inside quotes work:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --only-mp '/sys/*,/dev/*'

    Display options

    Sort the output:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --sort size

    Valid keys are: mountpoint, size, used, avail, usage, inodes, inodes_used, inodes_avail, inodes_usage, type, filesystem.

    Show or hide specific columns:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --output mountpoint,size,usage

    Valid keys are: mountpoint, size, used, avail, usage, inodes, inodes_used, inodes_avail, inodes_usage, type, filesystem.

    List inode information instead of block usage:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --inodes

    If duf doesn't detect your terminal's colors correctly, you can set a theme:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --theme light

    Color-coding & Thresholds

    duf highlights the availability & usage columns in red, green, or yellow, depending on how much space is still available. You can set your own thresholds:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --avail-threshold="10G,1G"
duf --usage-threshold="0.5,0.9"

    Bonus

    If you prefer your output as JSON:

    root@kitploit:~
    duf --json

    Troubleshooting

    Users of oh-my-zsh should be aware that it already defines an alias called duf, which you will have to remove in order to use duf:

    root@kitploit:~
    unalias duf
