I am a new user of Ubuntu. When I type df -h
in terminal , it gives me list of all storage devices and space usage. In my system I get this.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/cow 934M 173M 761M 19% /
udev 925M 4.0K 925M 1% /dev
tmpfs 374M 856K 373M 1% /run
/dev/sdb1 7.5G 2.8G 4.8G 37% /cdrom
/dev/loop0 1.5G 1.5G 0 100% /rofs
tmpfs 934M 16K 934M 1% /tmp
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 934M 76K 934M 1% /run/shm
/dev/sda 299G 74M 299G 1% /media/q
I understand that /dev/sda
is my hard drive which is 320 gb(in gib it is 299 and hopefully that is what is being displayed) and /dev/sdb1
is pendrive of 8gb from which I am running the live cd.
My question is what are the other folders and what is the physical location of these folders if complete memory is taken by the device dev/sda
?
