[brlug-general] [SAGE] df breaks scripts

[willhill]

People who shortened device to dev might not think 
that "/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00" is a sane device name.  

Have you looked at perl's Filesys::DiskSpace?  I ran into it here:

A similar dissaster happened to g77, where the print output was automatically 
line broken to 80 columns.  This broke every loop formated code.  I'm not 
sure how that one turned out because I've done everything in C since.
