    It sounds like you are looking for the command “df”. Unfortunately, the output and options depend on whatever flavor of UNIX you happen to be using.

    Type “man df” or try “df -h” on a command line to learn more.

    Here’s an example from my Mac:

    kim-burgaards-macbook-pro:~ kim$ df
Filesystem    512-blocks       Used Available Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2   976101344  912544576  63044768    94%    /
devfs                224        224         0   100%    /dev
map -hosts             0          0         0   100%    /net
map auto_home          0          0         0   100%    /home
/dev/disk1s1   976773104  761379976 215393128    78%    /Volumes/Photo Vault
/dev/disk2s2  1952853344 1844058136 108795208    95%    /Volumes/Backup

    As far as I remember, the output looks very similar on Solaris.
