On a System76 PC several years old, running F32 fully updated (not
Ubuntu), I see the following:
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev
tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 7.8G 1.6M 7.8G 1% /run
/dev/mapper/fedora-root 49G 16G 31G 35% /
tmpfs 7.8G 60K 7.8G 1% /tmp
/dev/mapper/fedora-home 52G 20G 30G 40% /home
/dev/sda1 976M 252M 658M 28% /boot
/dev/mapper/backup_vg-backup 1.8T 174M 1.7T 1% /.snapshots
tmpfs 1.6G 60K 1.6G 1% /run/user/65536
bash-5.0$
Going into the GUI, right clicking and choosing priorities, I see:
Link to block device (inode/blockdevice)
So I searched inode, but got over my head in no time. Searching
snapshot was a little more comprehensible, but using what I think it told
me would demand knowledge I lack. I also tried blockdevice, and that
*really* got me into a jungle of jargon.
I'm wondering whether *any* file on an old machine could be so big
as a terabyte, let alone two. If not, what if anything is df -h telling
me about this machine as compared to my others? Anything about speed or
storage?
I also have a still broader question. Instead of keeping each
machine, as heretofore, as nearly in sync with the others, actually as
close a copy of the others, might it be reasonably safe to keep one for
constant use and the others as supporting specialists of some sort.
Advice? Comments?

I have precious (very precious) little idea where up is.
