Disk Usage

Im using solaris 8 on a Sunfire 280r. Is there a command to show you how much disk space is being used in gigabytes or megabytes. I dont think theres an option for this using the df command. not for solaris anyway.

thanks

-h was only brought into the Solaris df command as of Solaris 10.

df -k is the correct command to show you in kilobytes. You could always pipe through awk and perform some manipulation if you want to change the magnitude of the output fields.

Cheers
