hi there,
i noticed when i switched my GNU/Linux machine to the devfs that 'df'
doesnt give very pretty output when called, as the new device names
under devfs are quite long... eg
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part7

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4
1130568 32 1073104 1% /mnt/ext2
tmpfs 128660 0 128660 0% /dev/shm
the -P option is better... but obviously lacking the visual alignment

i personally think devfs is a brilliant idea, but the names!! agghh the names!!
i usually work with a 142 character-wide terminal, would it maybe be possible
to allow 'df' to detect this and expand the view accordingly? (short of renaming
the devices, i suppose this is all that can be done)
i see fileutils is renamed to 'coreutils' for the next release, has this
'prettification' been considered in the upgrade?
thanks in advance!
Sam
