Limitaciones
(Limitations)
* Tienes que ser root (por razones obvias). 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.
(Currently, only vfat and ext2/3 are supported, extending to
support other filesystems is trivial)
Quizá sería más sencillo hacerlo en C-Shell, pero me siento más cómodo con Python. Se admiten sugerencias.
(It would probably be easier in csh, but I am more comfortable with
Python. Suggestions welcome.)
