Re: [Plug] drive and partition info

[Kyle Burton <mortis@voicenet.com>]

you can use fdisk on the drive, or use the df command to show the amount
of used/free space on all mounted partitions, but it [df] won't show 
information for partitions not mounted (like swap - I think).

fdisk should show you the whole story though...
