oops, there was another user-visible change with v8.21-172-g33660b4: df now also works better with relative paths to the source device, e.g.: $ cd /dev/ && df-8.21 sdb Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 1014572 48 1014524 1% /dev $ cd /dev/ && df-new sdb Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb 10190136 6039532 3609932 63% /home This seems to be valid for POSIX compliance, but contradicts our TEXI documentation. I'd suggest something like this: - If an argument FILE is an absolute name of a disk device node + If an argument FILE resolves to a special file containing a mounted file system, `df' shows the space available on that file system rather than on the file system containing the device node. And as this was a user-visible change, it should probably be mentioned in the NEWS file. WDYT? Have a nice day, Berny
