Puedes usarlo con sudo. (Must be root, can be used with sudo) * El dispositivo indicado debe estar montado porque el programa utiliza df para averiguar el sistema de ficheros. (Device must be mounted because df is used to determine filesystem) * Por ahora sólo soporta vfat y ext2/3, pero extenderlo para otros FS es trivial.

Se admiten sugerencias. (It would probably be easier in csh, but I am more comfortable with Python. Suggestions welcome.) Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
