Depending on the kinds of storage volumes you have mounted, df -h can often hang or take a very long time to run. If this happens, you can check storage on your EBS volumes by running df with the -l, --local argument:

df -hl

The --local argument limits it to local file systems (which include EBS volumes) so it runs much more quickly, while the -h argument makes it print sizes in a human readable format

-h, --human-readable  print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)
-l, --local           limit listing to local file systems
