In the same way you could use "BLOCKSIZE=1K df" instead of "df -k". But you don't because there's a convenient command option. Similarly, I'd rather use "df -m". I think it's a low impact solution that will scale to "df -g" in the future. Personally, I think "df -h" as proposed is not useful, but I've given up arguing against additional options that other people like. And to Thomas: I've used dfspace before on ISC Unix, but never really liked it. I prefer df to do what I want. Am I greedy? :-) Stephen.
