Operating Systems AIX Command to find file system details on AIX Post 302957332 by MichaelFelt on Friday 9th of October 2015 08:38:05 AM

du/df -sh is a GNU aka coreutils convention. I doubt IBM will ever support "-h" and I know coreutils is not going to support "-g" - because I asked. The answer was: we have "-h".

Anyway, to summarize what you are seeing (I switched to root, because not all directories were directly readable - saving you that)

I just type the request - and it works!
Code:
michael@x071:[/home/michael]su
root's Password: 
michael@x071:[/home/michael]du -sh
1.7G    .

Some debugging - use full pathname for IBM AIX du
Code:
michael@x071:[/home/michael]/usr/bin/du -sh
/usr/bin/du: Not a recognized flag: h
Usage: du [-a | -s] [-rlkmgx] [ -H | -L ] [Name ...]

So, what am I using?
Code:
michael@x071:[/home/michael]which du
/opt/bin/du
michael@x071:[/home/michael]lslpp -w /opt/bin/du
  File                                        Fileset               Type
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  /opt/bin/du
                                      aixtools.coreutils.rte        File

And, if you are interested in playing with coreutils on AIX (from AIX 5.3 TL7 and later) trying installing coreutils and gettext (GNU text internationalzation) from either aixtools (that I package), or from Perzl site.
The key difference is I package for installp and he packages from rpm

See coreutils - AIXTOOLS and gettext - AIXTOOLS - or AIX Open Source Packages | Main / coreutils

Playtime! - And hope this helps Smilie
