Hi,

I know there is a human readable mode of the 'df' command also known as 'df -h'. When I run that switch on most AIX boxes it doesn't work. My workplace currently has 10 AIX servers in which 2 can run df -h, but even a 'df' man page on those 2 boxes doesn't show any -h switch.

What is allowing these boxes to run the -h and not the others? How do I get them all to do so?

Regards,
Gui

Maybe the other working df is gnu
Look for your 'AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications' cd set and install the appropriate fileset, let us know the outcome

I don't even know what that is and we have no Linux boxes. I'm trying to figure out AIX so I can just get by..

Try this out if you're on 5.2 or just browse this cool site .
For you to use that file, You must install the rpm package which is located on your 'AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications' which comes with your AiX cd sets

unfortunately, AIX doesn't offer the '-h' flag for the df command.

if you want the output more readable in terms of megabytes or gigabytes (and if you're using a recent version of AIX... i think 5.2 or later)... try the 'df -m' or 'df -g' commands. '-m' will list the output in megabytes and '-g' will list in gigabytes. unfortnutely, i don't think there's a way to combine it like how '-h' would.
