Reading Partition Space

[Steve Jardine]

Actually, if anyone else is interested, you can use stat -f to get how much space is available on a partition. The only thing one must be careful of is the block size. Of course, I have tested it for Ext2/3 - but it seems to work as advertised..

  YMMV..

Thanks all.. Great as usual!

P.S. No ignorance involved, misplaced brain today...
