How to view all mounted devices and respective free space

I have Ubuntu 11.10 and I don't see My Computer option in Nautilus. I want this option so that I can view the disk statistics.

Is there any other way to list all mounted devices and their respective free spaces within Nautilus? Because I find it very hard to go to properties every time or use a disk analyser which takes loads of time or a screenlet which takes up memory. Is there any other simple solution?

I am not sure of 11.10, but atleast in 12.04, you can enable your Status bar in Nautilus which will give the free space in your current Partition.

Although this does not list all file systems at once, it is pretty handy to know the free space in the current file system.

To enable Status Bar in Nautilus, just type the following in BASH.

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.window-state start-with-status-bar true

If at some point, you want to remove your Status Bar (which I would find very hard to believe), you can do so by using the following command.

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.window-state start-with-status-bar false

Or, if you are more of a GUI kind of guy, install dconf-editor and go to

org > gnome > nautilus > window state

and select start-with-status-bar.

Hope that helped.
