The "df -i" command is used to display information about the filesystem and the number of inodes used, available, and percentage utilized on each filesystem. Here is a breakdown of each part of the command: - "df" stands for "disk free" and is a command-line utility used to check the available disk space on a filesystem. - "-i" is an option that stands for "inode" and is used to display information about inodes instead of the usual disk space metrics. When you run the "df -i" command, it will retrieve and display a table with filesystem-related information, such as the device, the total number of inodes, the number of used inodes, the number of free inodes, the percentage of inodes used, the mount point of the filesystem, and more. This helps you analyze the inode usage and distribution on different filesystems.
