This has been on my to-do list for a while -- not because all the nfs clients tell me about the disk space, but because the df command hangs if a hard-mounted nfs filesystem becomes unavailable. With the BB client code, this ends up with purples for disk, swap, cpu, and messages (and maybe more -- running from memory here).

I'm working my way through a small rollout of hobbitclient on some AIX 5.3
boxen to replace the BB client.
At present, I am having some issues with disk alerts, especially for NFS
mounted drives.
As Henrik probably noticed, AIX is nice enough to *not* include the option
for specifying file system types in it's df command. Well... it does in
the sysv version but that won't let you get the results in kb :-) So if I
get a full disk on the NFS server, all the NFS clients let me know about it
too!
Hi
you can install GNU coreutils
(ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm),
they provide some useful GNU commands like df :
$ /usr/linux/bin/df --help
[...]
-l, --local limit listing to local filesystems
[...]
I'm using this with BB clients on AIX :
DF="/usr/linux/bin/df -h -l"
