"df" will report free space in either 512 byte or 1024 byte block sizes. I do know that root often gets the 512 block report and users get the 1024 block report. "df" uses the -k line switch to force use of the 1024 block size report. // ------------------------------------- | |\ _,,,---,,_ // Roland Jay Roberts - Team OS/2 - | ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ // Internet: jay@map.com | |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' // FidoNet: Roland Roberts @ 1:321/305.5 | '---''(_/--' `-'\_)
