I'm curious about df -H
and df -h
, then man df
tells me:
-h, --human-readable
print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)
-H, --si
likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024
So what is the rationale behind the use of powers of 1000?
Maybe a side question (or even related):
root@host:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
Is K
block 1024 or 1000?
