[hobbit] hobbitclient, disk and AIX

[Kauffman, Tom]

This has been on my to-do list for a while -- not because all the nfs clients tell me about the disk space, but because the df command hangs if a hard-mounted nfs filesystem becomes unavailable. With the BB client code, this ends up with purples for disk, swap, cpu, and messages (and maybe more -- running from memory here).

Hi

you can install GNU coreutils 
(ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm), 
they provide some useful GNU commands like df :

$ /usr/linux/bin/df --help
[...]
  -l, --local           limit listing to local filesystems
[...]

I'm using this with BB clients on AIX :

DF="/usr/linux/bin/df -h -l"
