In regard to: [Networker] mminfo and sizes, Teresa Biehler said (at 10:01am...:
I'd like to find out how much data is written to a piece of media (could
be disk, could be tape). So, I use mmifo. Unfortunately, it changes
the units it reports the size in based on the size. For example:
mminfo -q " volume=000999" -r "volume,written"
That's because the field size has a default width. If you look at the
chart in the mminfo man page, you'll see:
attribute value
name range width description
capacity size 8 The volume's estimated capacity.
written kbsize 7 Kbytes written to volume.
%used number 5 Estimated percentage used, or 'full'
Since there are only 7 places available (by default), it scales the number
and units to fit in that space.
The good news is that any field can have its field width altered just
by including a width:
mminfo -q "volume=000039" -r "volume(12),written(24)"
