How to sort df -h out put :

UNIX Solaris
1

Hello every one ,

      I am just trying to sort df -h out in a particular order  to differentiate SAN disks and local disks .. does any body have any script or any useful command ??

thanks in advance ..

 df -h | sort

is a starting point.

Please show us what df -h gives for input to sort and your expected output.
Device and other things are not really universal in Solaris, so I'm not clear what your problem is. Normally the output of df is pretty much usable as is.

Hi new2uniks,

What kind of sort is that?

Shouldn't be /archive ordered before than /d01? I can't see the point.

Try the following;

df -h | grep -v Mounted | sort -k 6,6

Based on the assumption that you actually do want sorted output:)

i am little :confused: by ur qn .. i dnt mind about /archive and /orabackup order ... they may come first or last .. but the rest should be in order like d01 d02 d03 ...

Sorry about that should have included a separator in the command as follows;

df -h | grep -v Mounted | sort -t"        " -k 6,6

After the first set of quote marks you need to hold down the ctrl key and press lowercase v and then uppercase I before closing the quotes this will give you a tab separator in the command. I don't have access to my Sun box just now so cant test - sorry.

Regards

Dave
