You could do df -k with `BLOCKSIZE=1K df' too but I don't see you complaining about the -k flag or advocating for its removal. This is just John's shorthand for gigabytes and probably not an unexpected evolution in light of today's drive sizes; thank god we got to skip over -m for megabytes. FWIW, I didn't like the idea of another flag much either (we gonna add -g to du(1) next? It has a -k flag too) but I couldn't argue against it from a POLA or consistency standpoint (there is -k AND there is BLOCKSIZE, enough said) so, unlike you, I didn't attempt to shoot John down with some hypocritical argument and simply approved the change with a sigh. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
