busybox df question...

[Mark Whitley]

Package: busybox
Version: v0.50pre
Severity: normal

Confirmed, Mike. I was able to dup this on my machine. Normal df output (w/o
the -h) reports correct sizes, but something in the HUMAN_READABLE part isn't
working properly. Here's some examples on my box:


[w/o -h: works fine]

$ df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda4              8815404   5911964   2455632  71% /
/dev/hda1                62187      4946     54030   8% /boot
/dev/hda3              3958799    676625   3077346  18% /home/markw/mp3

$ ./busybox df

/dev/hda3              3958799    676625   3077346  18% /home/markw/mp3


[df -h: same problem you observed]

$ df -h

$ ./busybox df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda4                 8.4M      5.6M      2.3M  71% /

/dev/hda3                 3.8M    660.8k      2.9M  18% /home/markw/mp3


[df -hk: forcing kilobyte units display - still shows megs]

$ df -hk
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

[df -hm: forcing megabyte units display - all zeroes]

$ df -hm

Mr. Kent Robotti, if you have some time, I'd appreciate you looking into this.
