Running `df -B...` with a SIZE which is greater than the total disk space
returns the same value in the 'Used' and 'Available' column - see example
below with T, P and E:
$ for f in 1 K M G T P E Z Y ; do ( set -x && df -B$f . ) ; done
+ df -B1 .
Filesystem 1B-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
D: 596087726080 100868861952 495218864128 17% /cygdrive/d
+ df -BK .
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
D: 582116920K 98504748K 483612172K 17% /cygdrive/d

+ df -BG .
Filesystem 1G-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
D: 556G 94G 462G 17% /cygdrive/d
+ df -BT .

+ df -BE .
Filesystem 1E-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
D: 1E 1E 1E 17% /cygdrive/d
+ df -BZ .
df: -B argument `Z' too large
+ df -BY .
df: -B argument `Y' too large
Apart from saying that 1[TPE] is still available ... shouldn't it return
0[TPE] for the "Used" column, as rounding a value of 17% should lead to
zero (mathematically)?
BTW: why are `Z' and `Y' "too large"?
$ df --version
df (GNU coreutils) 8.10
Packaged by Cygwin (8.10-1)
It's on a 32-bit XP.
Have a nice day,
