My condolences. Luckily, I only need to log in to such systems (setup by
IBM GTS, I believe) on rare occasions. It is unbelievable how AIX kept
stuck in the 90s. And really, the number of filesystems on these
machines is astonishing. I think I have seen more than 30 filesystems.
More than 20 is apparently not unusual.

That was my fault. I knew -m works and suspected -g would display
gigabytes. It doesn't.

Yes, sometimes that makes it easier to compare the numbers.

You will not regret it.
