This is why 1024k is better than 1M or 1m. Does the BSD version also support status=none to make it work silently instead of spewing block counts to stderr? If not, I might suggest that we switch to using our own wrapper that detects the platform to do the appropriate uppercase/lowercase and extra arguments vs. shell redirection in each case. _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
