RE: {bb} how does bb-dftab work?

[Ralf.Strandell@silja.com]

Hi,

When bb-disk.sh tries to interpret the output of "df", it usually assumes
that DISKNAME=$6 . This yields "DISKNAME=/Volumes/Mac"...

1) The simplest solution would be to rename that disk so that it would not
use any spaces in the name.

2) Another solution would be a modification of df to something like this:

$DF | while read line
do
	if [ $# -ge 6 ]
	then
		set bogus $line ; shift
		part1="$1 $2 $3 $4 $5"
		shift 5
		part2=`echo "$@" | sed 's/ /_/g'`
		echo "$part1 $part2"
	fi
done

This code will replace all spaces with an underscore.
Maybe this could be a df() function.

Modify bb-dftab accordingly

3) Or just ignore the disk

DFEXCLUDE="^/Volume/Mac"



p.s. This is not going to be your last headache caused by spaces.
