(analogous to https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/263437/df-hide-ifree-iused-512-blocks-customize-column-format-dont-show-inode-info for BSD)

How can I hide the columns beginning with i (iused, ifree) and/or 512-blocks? I just want to know how close to full my disks are, I don't want their life story.

$ /bin/df

df man page you're already using parameters to show that information so leave them out. Check whenever you have an alias set up for those commands. – Seth – 2018-01-05T07:23:23.223

There is no alias, I am running /bin/df – Sridhar Sarnobat – 2018-01-05T18:25:55.183

environment variables might affect the behaviour too. – msb – 2018-01-05T18:37:20.737

env | grep POSIXLY_CORRECT returns nothing for me. Any other ideas? – Sridhar Sarnobat – 2018-01-05T18:38:17.753

Looking at the source code on github, it seems df usually doesn't show both blocks and inodes. My guess is that your build is personalized, it's weird. I tried fiddling with options locally to show both and couldn't. It's possible that you don't have the option of not showing both... unless you compile df yourself. :-/ – msb – 2018-01-05T18:51:23.610

df hide ifree etc (GNU)
