diskutil: get total and available space on macOS using APFS

macos command-line terminal apfs filesystem

On macOS High Sierra, with SSD formatted with APFS, I've got:

I just have a 512 GB SSD.

So, my problem is how to correctly parse it to get:

  • Total Space
  • Available Space

From the output, I can't simply sum all the lines starting with:

Volume Total Space and Volume Free Space; it seems they both lists the same thing:

Volume Total Space: 500.0 GB (499963170816 Bytes) (exactly 976490568 512-Byte-Units)

Trying df -H, the output is:

df -H
Filesystem      Size   Used  Avail Capacity iused               ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/disk1s1    500G   309G   189G    63% 2397390 9223372036852378417    0%   /
devfs           195k   195k     0B   100%     658                   0  100%   /dev
/dev/disk1s4    500G   1.1G   189G     1%       3 9223372036854775804    0%   /private/var/vm
map -hosts        0B     0B     0B   100%       0                   0  100%   /net
map auto_home     0B     0B     0B   100%       0                   0  100%   /home

Again, there are 2 lines (for /dev/disk1s1 and /dev/disk1s4) showing:

Size 500G and Avail 189G

I know somehow this behavior is related to APFS thing; but again, I need some logic to filter out the duplicated entry .

I just want to use one or more CLI commands, which somehow let me respond this question:

How much space are on ALL disks (sum) on this host, and how much is available on ALL disks (sum) ?


Solution 1:

Both of the following solutions list the total disk size and the available space on the next line of a HFS filesystem:

df -H | awk '/\/dev\/disk1/ {printf("%s\n%s\n", $2,$4)}'

diskutil info /dev/disk1 | awk '
        /Volume Total Space/     { total = $4" "$5 }
        /Volume Available Space/ { avail = $4" "$5 }
        END { printf("%s\n%s\n", total, avail) }'

For the APFS filesystem try:

df -H | awk '/\/dev\/disk1s1/ {printf("%s\n%s\n", $2,$4)}'

diskutil info /dev/disk1s1 | awk '
        /Volume Total Space/     { total = $4" "$5 }
        /Volume Free Space/      { avail = $4" "$5 }
        END { printf("%s\n%s\n", total, avail) }'

EDIT: The capacity of all mounted filesystems and the total available space.

df | awk '/\/dev\/disk*/ && ! /\/private\/var\/vm/ {

        s_byte = $2 * 512            # covert blocks to bytes
        a_byte = $4 * 512
        ts_byte+=s_byte              # add bytes for each device
        ta_byte+=a_byte              # to their total
        }

        END {

        ts_byte=ts_byte/1000000000   # convert bytes to GB
        ta_byte=ta_byte/1000000000

        print "CAPACITY:", ts_byte,"G     AVAILABLE:", ta_byte,"G"
}'

Solution 2:

you should use diskutil info /dev/disk1

diskutil info --all gives more than needed also showing volumes which are used for restoring the system etc.

df is not useful here, cause it doesn't provide physical volume info.
