That's what I thought too, but testing proves it doesn't work for me for
_written_

> mminfo -q ssid=769091765 -r "volume(7),written(29)"
 volume                      written
000001                        138 GB
000002                        155 GB

it just increases the leading blanks before the number of GB

did you try this, Tim?

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)"
