Requirement :

bdf command output normally looks scattered especially when VG names are long. It will be difficult to grep out proper pattern out of such output. Also, its not convenient to share this output over email/document when extra lines breaks exists.

In such scenarios, we need to have proper formatted output of bdf. Also sometimes we require output with all its column left aligned.

Solution :

To remove line breaks from bdf output and get single row per entry output

See below normal bdf output. Note that last 2 mount points has two line entry since filesystem column has long entry.

# bdf

Now with inline awk we format the output to have one entry per row. Check below command output.

# bdf | awk '{if (NF==1) {line=$0;getline;sub(" *"," ");print line$0} else {print}}'

To get left aligned bdf output

In above output, columns are not aligned properly. We can even do that with below argument.

# bdf | awk '/\//{printf("%-30s%-10s%-10s%-10s%-5s%-10s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6)}'

/dev/vg00/lvol3               2097152   737408    1349312   35%  /
/dev/vg00/lvol1               1048576   206160    835928    20%  /stand
/dev/vg00/lvol8               8388608   5472792   2905392   65%  /var
/dev/vg00/lvol7               8388608   4655256   3713000   56%  /usr
/dev/vg00/lvol4               2097152   1052368   1036888   50%  /tmp
/dev/vg00/lvol6               8388608   6675168   1700112   80%  /opt
/dev/vg00/lvol5               524288    49360     471256    9%   /home

Please make a note that this awk wont remove any line breaks from output. So one can combine (with pipe |) both awk to get left aligned output with line breaks removed.

Left aligned output with line breaks removed!
