AIX 4.3 storage usage report
hi,
i'm new to this company and i'm using old AIX 4.3 with DAS and SSA storage. What is the best way to query a report for disk capacity, usage, free, etc.
I know in AIX 5 there's a command for "du -g /" or "du -m /" to report the total usage but I'm not using AIX5. In AIX 4.3 I can use "df -t" so that it will give report of the total "512-bolcks/used/free/%use". How I can compute the "total 512-blocks" so that I can give to my boss in mega byte or giga byte? Is the calculation the same with "used" and "free" on "512-blocks"?
Thanks,
vene
