>Description:
I used to use alias df to "df -H"

Now, running that reports:


df: unknown option -- H
Usage: df [-agln] [-Ghkm|-ihkm|-Pk] [-t type] [file | file_system ...]


man df reports

     -H      As with -h but using powers of 10 (1000) rather than 2 (1024).



Is it still possible to get the same effect from 'df' -- that is, output using powers of 10?
>How-To-Repeat:
run "df -H"
>Fix:
Adjust man page to the -H switch is not shown  and/or is listed as previously existing, but removed (for some reason).

Double-check to make sure all the 'df' switches are properly documented.

 this seems like another issue related to your partial update issue.

 you have a new df.1 but an old /bin/df.  please unpack the -10 sets
 again -- whatever is going on is gonna keep having weirdness until
 you do this.
