Possibly, but then I am certainly guilty of using df(1) for these purposes, and I know of many experienced sysadmins that are the same. I'd wager most google-able advice on the matter would suggest df(1). > mount(8) and findmnt(8) [new, and very nice] are more appropriate for this > task. Perhaps, but their manpage sections strongly imply they aren't as generally-useful/usable as df(1), to an ordinary user. (sysadmin tools? here be dragons!) _______________________________________________ Pkg-sysvinit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sysvinit-devel
