Simply that it doesn't compile on FreeBSD. But you're right, it seems to work a treat on Linux (our Solaris boxes are currently borked); so I'll estimate what's needed to port to FreeBSD, and if that's feasible (and the maintainer amenable), I'll look to use that instead. Cheers for the pointer! Mx.
Filesys::DiskFree
Fellow Module Authors, I've looked through the available disk-free modules, for an OS-neutral one (at least, Solaris, Linux FreeBSD to start...), and been disappointed with the outcome. Filesys::DiskFree seems closest to my needs (not least, it compiles), but doesn't work on modern Solaris with unhelpful df output. I sent a patch to the listed address for ABarclay, but have had no response. I would like to apply to take over maintenance of this module. To whom do I send the relevant mail / what form do I fill in to achieve this? If I'm missing an appproriate module for doing this with, please let me know. Mx.

FTR, I attempted to contact Alan over 3 months ago by email and have had no reply. This document doesn't answer the question ...if all else fails, then what?. That is, I'm still unclear how namespace authority is transferred, or if it is enforced at all. This is true :-( . I'm sure that someone out there knows, and we can perhaps get this added; although it's probably not *that* frequently asked... Mx.

I've already written all of this for AIX (4.3.3/5L), and will be adding IRIX (XVM) support soon. My first impression is that this would go under Parse::LVM since it parses the output of standard system commands. Should there instead be a Filesys::LVM::* or LVM::* tree for this kind of functionality? I would certainly look for that kind of thing in Filesys:: . I fear it would get lost in LVM (and the acronym doesn't mean much without the Filesys:: context), and though it may choose to receive its information by parsing a command, that's implementation --- not purpose. Filesys::LVM sounds splendid to me. And please do upload it --- this sounds like a very good module to have around! Mx.
