I would have said df -h suffices. But since Mac OS X has -g I suppose we could add it. We'll almost definitely not add a -g to mean anything else because it's already used on other systems. Would we also add a -g option to `du` for consistency? Mac OS X' `du` doesn't have the -g option? cheers, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
