I have two storage disks on a ESX host with the names data and data1.

If i do a df -h|grep -E 'data' on an ESX shell it gives the disk size of both the storage disks. Is there a grep command in ESX shell command for exact word match?

Note grep -w does not exist for ESX shell. Please help.

Is `grep -v` exist in the ESX shell? – Wenbing Li Aug 13 '14 at 21:22
Show how output of `df -h` looks like. Try to use `'data '` or `'data$'` – user3132194 Aug 14 '14 at 04:15
grep -v does exist. I figured it out. df -m|grep -E 'data'|grep -v 'data1' – user3699973 Aug 15 '14 at 16:13
