(at least through V.4.0.4) Apparently this one is 5 9gb drives striped (note that SGI wouldn't handle a (local) filesystem that big till 5.3; wuarchive is running ultrix). FreeBSD's df handles this right even in 1.1.5, even though 1.1.5 didn't support a filesystem that big. SGI does this right in IRIX 5.2 and 5.3 (V.4 based) but not 4.x. (but didn't support >8gb local filesystems till 5.3) Look for negative used or avail amounts :-) I'd demonstrate but I've replaced all my old V.4 gateway systems with freebsd!!! (2 still on 1.1.5 and 3 now on 2.0.5R "or so") -- Pete
