In the above line
root [at] server# df | awk /%/ | sort +5

what is the awk /%/ actually doing, what difference is it from

df | sort +5

could someone please explain?
Imran, have you tried looking at the man page for awk? There's a lot of information on awk available on google as well.

The awk line in question outputs those lines containing %.

If you run "df" followed by "df | awk /%/" you can compare the outputs.

Regards,

Jonathan
