Re: Device names too long for df

 Once more than half a dozen devices are in the system, the readout is less easy

 I have made a patch to add a --wide (-w) option to df, so that the
 Filesystem column has more space.

I don't have a system to test this on but I am curious what the -P
output looks like in your case.

`-P'
`--portability'
 Use the POSIX output format.  This is like the default format
 except for the following:

   1. The information about each filesystem is always printed on
  exactly one line; a mount device is never put on a line by
  itself.  This means that if the mount device name is more
  than 20 characters long (e.g., for some network mounts), the
  columns are misaligned.

   2. The labels in the header output line are changed to conform
  to POSIX.

Thanks
Bob

Re: df du should honor $BLOCKSIZE

  BLOCKSIZEThe size of the block units used by several commands,

Can you find a complete list of BSD programs that use getbsize,
and which contexts they use it in?

Here's why I'd like to know the details.  OpenBSD 3.2 'ls' treats
BLOCKSIZE differently than coreutils-5.2.0 'ls' treats BLOCK_SIZE.
The latter affects the st_size column, but the former doesn't.  (See
below.)  So, even if we make BLOCK_SIZE default to BLOCKSIZE, the
emulation won't be quite right for ls.  I'm worried that there are
other problems in other programs.

- coreutils 5.2.0 -
$ BLOCK_SIZE=512 ls -sl
