I need some help in determining disc space. I ran the following commands on my IBM RS6000 server and this is what I get

# dfspace
Filesystem 512-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 32768 19832 40% 1225 15% /
/dev/hd2 802816 277256 66% 11035 11% /usr
/dev/hd9var 32768 22648 31% 197 5% /var
/dev/hd3 65536 29600 55% 246 4% /tmp
/dev/hd1 16384 15448 6% 109 6% /home
/dev/lv00 49152 23192 53% 357 6% /versyss
/dev/lv01 6012928 2214864 64% 5168 1% /versyss/data

# dfspace -k
Filesystem 1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 16384 9916 40% 1225 15% /
/dev/hd2 401408 138628 66% 11035 11% /usr
/dev/hd9var 16384 11324 31% 197 5% /var
/dev/hd3 32768 14800 55% 246 4% /tmp
/dev/hd1 8192 7724 6% 109 6% /home
/dev/lv00 24576 11596 53% 357 6% /versyss
/dev/lv01 3006464 1107432 64% 5168 1% /versyss/data

Can someone please tell me how to calculate total disc space for the partition and remaining space? One is reported in 512k blocks and one is reported in 1024k blocks.

OR direct me to documentation where I can read and figure this out on my own.

Thanks alot for your help!

use the lspv command

this will show you the following
total pps -physical partition
free pps
used pps

read the man lspv for more details

I could be wrong but you should be able to multiply the total field by 512 and get total bytes.

/root> bc
32768*512
16777216 # This should be in bytes. 16MB actual...
quit

You might be able to get the output to display differently by doing a man on dfspace. See what other options it may have.
