Hi, (First patch submission, apologies for any errors). As of coreutils 8.4, df's column alignments still get messy with larger filesystems, 1TB& up. This patch adjusts the column spacings to maintain vertical alignment. I've tried it with various display format options and as far as I can see it works correctly. Tested on a Centos 5.4 x86_64 system
Thanks for that. However I think we need something more general than adding another space. Consider for example the output from: df -B\'1 One can pipe the output to `column -t` and it's much more readable. However doing more general alignment within df is still useful I think because: Numbers would be aligned right Spaces within (translated) column headings would be handled No dependence on the non standardized `column` utility We intend to work on that at some stage, but any ideas/patches are welcome. cheers, Pádraig.
