About

di shows information about the mounted volumes; it is intended to replace df.
The output is a crossover between BeOS df and AmigaOS Info:

        Volume         Size         Free       Flags    Type   BS  Created
BABYLON_5_THE_GATHER   3.80GB,   0.00GB ( 0%) ----PR-      udf 2K 2002-10-28
Be                     5.00GB,   2.21GB (44%) QAM-P-W      bfs 2K 2003-10-17

Changes

1.1 (2004.01.24)
  • Blocksize of file system now also displayed.
  • Workaround for bugs in ISO9660 and UDF file systems, which don't report volumes as removable.

  • Initial release

Requirements

Installation

Copy the di executable to ~/config/bin or wherever else you keep custom shell comands.

Usage

Type "di" at the shell's prompt. Nothing more to say - currently there are no options.

Bugs

Future Enhancements

Currently there are no specific plans for further development. However, if you'd like options to show only specific types of partitions, say, BFS or DOS, or alternative ways of sorting the output instead of alphabetically (by total size, free size, filesystem type, etc.), let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks To

Thanks must go to Marton Fabo, Ingo Weinhold, Alexander G.M. Smith and Axel Dörfler on BeDevTalk for answering my questions so quickly and thouroughly.
