No worries. I’d just use whatever, but I’m trying to come up with something I can use via Ansible across a couple of hundred machines. I need precise numbers for work reasons. 🙂

Thanks for the explanation Kevin and sorry for the noise. I tend to use disklabel to see the size of each partition or physical disk info and df just to see how much is on each mount point as my needs are quite trivial. However, I am an OpenBSD user and don’t know as much about Linux etc.

Fair question. On the same system, df -h gives:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                  465M     0  465M   0% /dev
tmpfs                  99M  7.8M   91M   8% /run
/dev/mapper/vg0-root   15G  3.3G   12G  22% /
tmpfs                 493M     0  493M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                 5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs                 493M     0  493M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/vg1-data   98G   61M   93G   1% /mnt/data
/dev/mapper/vg0-var   5.0G  956M  4.1G  19% /var
tmpfs                  99M     0   99M   0% /run/user/1000

Where '/' and 'var' are correct, but /mnt/data shows as 98G instead of 100G. I'm looking for the disk sizes, not the file system sizes.

This is actually a VM, and I can get the exact disk sizes from VMware... but not the mount points. And since / and /var are on the same disk, the VMware info lacks the detail I need.

Major device 253 seems to be used for LVM devices, so assuming that misses things like "sda2                8:2    0    2G  0 part /boot", which I'd also like to account for. Another system, for example, has
NAME                MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda                   8:0    0   50G  0 disk
├─sda1                8:1    0    1M  0 part
├─sda2                8:2    0    2G  0 part /boot
└─sda3                8:3    0   48G  0 part
  ├─ubuntu--vg-root 253:0    0   24G  0 lvm  /
  └─ubuntu--vg-var  253:1    0   24G  0 lvm  /var
sr0                  11:0    1 1024M  0 rom

And from that I would want
/boot 2G
/ 24G
/var 24G
which adds up to 50G (sda)

lsblk -e 7 | grep '/' | awk '{ print $NF, $4 }'
basically works (for my sample of two systems), but I don't know how reliable assuming grep '/' is going to be for what I want.

Doesn’t df -h give that info? Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

With 'lsblk' I can get something like this:

sda            8:0    0   20G  0 disk

  ├─vg0-root 253:0    0   15G  0 lvm  /
  └─vg0-var  253:1    0    5G  0 lvm  /var
sdb            8:16   0  100G  0 disk
└─sdb1         8:17   0  100G  0 part
  └─vg1-data 253:2    0  100G  0 lvm  /mnt/data
sr0           11:0    1 1024M  0 rom

What I'm looking for is output like:
/ 15G
/var 5G
/mnt/data 100G

So I just want the size of the block devices which are actually mounted. I'm wondering what is the most reliable way to produce the second output. I can just grep for 'lvm', but I can't guarantee the mounts are all LVM type. I can grep for ' 253:', but is the 253 going to be reliable? What does 253 even mean?

240-254 block  LOCAL/EXPERIMENTAL USE
                Allocated for local/experimental use.  For devices not
                assigned official numbers, these ranges should be
                used in order to avoid conflicting with future assignments.
... which isn't encouraging. Is that list outdated? grep for '/'s?
