In version 1.78 of /etc/daily, the -i flag was added to the df output.
Apparently, some people run out of inodes.
I only seem to run out of disk space, and too often, my eye skims
the daily report from a machine, looks at the last column,sees a
small percentage, and I decide, "all is good", even if I were
look a couple columns in, the actual disk space is low.
To try to avoid bikeshedding and flopping this back and forth,
I offer this diff. With no change, daily df output is unchanged.
Those of us that don't worry about running out of inodes, we can
set DF_FLAGS in /etc/daily.local to be whatever we want, in my
case, I like "-hl" (currently, it's "-ikl")
(inline and attached)
