Not in bdf no, but you can use Bill Hassell's bdfmegs utility:

which will do what you require (plus a heap of other neat stuff)

>>#du -hs

Not on HP-UX. There is no '-h' option.

I also recommend Bill Hassels bdfmegs script.

[Bill Hassell]

Here is a copy of bdfmegs. Use the -g option to see GB rather than MB. Use bdfmegs -h for help on the options.

there is no human readable format in bdf in HPUX like in tru64, sun and linux.

Above script hold good :)

Hi Fizan,

You can use this single command to print bdf o/p in GB:

# bdf | grep -v Filesystem | awk '{ printf ("%s\t %d\t %d\t %d\t %s\t %s\t \n", $1, $2/1048576, $3/1048576, $4/1048576, $5, $6)}'

Only thing is that it will not print the first line (heading) :(

Note: There are 1 or 2 exceptions unless it works fine on your system.

Regds..

Hi Again,

If you use "%f" in place of "%d", you will get output in decimal places.

Ex:
# bdf | grep -v Filesystem | awk '{ printf ("%s\t %f\t %f\t %f\t %s\t %s\t \n", $1, $2/1048576, $3/1048576, $4/1048576, $5, $6)}'
