I have two linux machines that I'm running DF on but the format between them is different. On the older one (bottom) it's nice and neat. On the newer one, it's...not. Is there a setting to fix this?

Check alias entries - possibly set for posix.

It's the size of the screen that you're using between the two:
stretch xterm to 100 columns wide: you'll see the lovely display at the bottom of your original posting.
shrink your xterm window to 50 columns wide, you'll see the posting that you have at the top.


examine/set the shell variable $COLUMNS to see what you've got, and run "df -k" between each, and examine the output.

resize your xterm windows to, oh say, 125 columns (check with "echo $COLUMNS" from the command line).
Then run your command, and it's probably very nice like the bottom of your question/posting.

resize your xterm window to, oh say, 50 columns (check with "echo $COLUMNS" from the command line).
Then run your commands, and the output is probably very much like the top part of your question/posting.

The difference then, is just the size of the terminal, and whether or not the "df" command needs to wrap the output because it won't fit on a single line.
