Hi,

Currently daily(8) runs `df -ikl`. I find reading daily(8) emails hard
because in today's disk size, kilobyte counts are not sensible. I'd
like to replace -k by -h so the output is more human friendly. I doubt
anyone parses daily(8) so this shouldn't break anyone setup.

It seems that historically it was `df -k`, back when it was imported
from NetBSD in October 95. On the other hand, df's -h was added only in
April 97.


Comments? OK?

Cheers,
Daniel
