All I did was modified the hobbitclient-linux.sh file for my linux boxes and you will see an entry for df -Pl and I changed it to df -Ph and my graphs and page show human readable.

Hi Henrik

A feature request for you.

Most unix-like operating systems now support the -h switch on the df command. I am sure I do not need to tell you, -h displays the output in human readable format.

Example

df -h

Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/rootvol 7.9G 3.3G 4.5G 43% / swap 7.9G 1.4M 7.9G 1% /etc/svc/volatile /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/var 7.9G 4.5G 3.3G 58% /var /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/opt 7.9G 1.7G 6.1G 22% /opt /dev/vx/dsk/int/vol0 190G 147G 40G 79% /local/dsk/vol0 /dev/vx/dsk/6540b/dsu3 7.3T 4.6T 2.6T 64% /local/dsk/dsu3 /dev/vx/dsk/6540b/dsu4 7.3T 5.2T 2.1T 72% /local/dsk/dsu4

Not so good if you want to do calculations, but far more readable compared to

df -k

Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/rootvol 8262869 3448657 4731584 43% / swap 8091848 1464 8090384 1% /etc/svc/volatile /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/var 8262869 4713464 3466777 58% /var /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/opt 8262869 1777713 6402528 22% /opt /dev/vx/dsk/int/vol0 199229440 153301977 43058152 79% /local/dsk/vol0 /dev/vx/dsk/6540b/dsu3 7803789312 4968049472 2813588504 64% /local/dsk/dsu3 /dev/vx/dsk/6540b/dsu4 7803789312 5579034264 2207423576 72% /local/dsk/dsu4

Is it possible to have the calculations and graphs based on the standard df -k output, but have the display use df -h?

It might require 2 iterations of the df command at client level, one for display, and another for data. I was thinking, maybe even add another definition in the client configs. DF_DISP="df -h", which would then allow any switches to be added, depending on preference.

I have tried changing the DF= command definition to df -h in the config, but that seems to break some of the calculations at server side.
