Any user can execute

  df

which stands for "disk (space) free".  It shows allocated, used, and frre
space of each mounted partition.  "man df".

If you want to see allocated (but not used or free) space of all
partitions, mounted or not, use (as root)

  fdisk -l /dev/hdx

where "x" is "a" for the first drive, "b" for the second, etc.  "man
fdisk".
