BUG BeagleBone Black: Status not showing free disk space

[voipRookie]

I just got my BeagleBone Black with a 16GB microSD setup and I noticed the status command is not displaying a value for free disk space.



I made the following change to /usr/bin/status so the amount of free disk space will be displayed. I replaced all off these lines:

DISK=`df -h | grep -m 2 ^ | tail -1 | cut -f 8 -d " "`
if [ -z "$DISK" ]; then
DISK=" `df -h | grep -m 2 ^ | tail -1 | cut -f 7 -d " "`"
fi

with this line:

DISK=`df -h | grep -m 2 ^ | tail -1 | awk -F' ' '{print $4}'`

After this change, the status command shows the amount of free disk space.



I have no idea if this change will also work on Raspberry PI or with other sizes of disks so, YMMV.

Thanks! That fixed the problem here, using a 16GB micro SD card.

I noticed on mine that if I ran "./status" it doesn't show the disk info, but if I run "status" it does show disk info. weird.

There are two different versions of the status script on my Beaglebone also (/usr/bin and /root). Neither of which would display the amount of free disk space available.

Think of it as a feature.

Unfortunately, I've been responsible for several "features" over my career!
