LOL - Hey, I *said* I was old-school UNIX.  I was using it before there
was Linux.

And yes, I had the great misfortune of being an administrator of an AIX
system (on the subject of IBM...). :-)  Of course, once I installed bash
and then added all of the GNU replacement utilities & commands, it was
MUCH more livable. <grin>

Oh, I know about -h (-g doesn't work on this system (6.0.7)); I just
prefer the slightly-more-detailed information when showing the space
used as 1K blocks.

I've heard about LVM but really don't know that much about it.  I'll
look more into it and see what it's all about.  Thanks for the suggestion.
