GNU coreutils follows POSIX here, so there's nothing wrong with the output you got:
df -h is an extension, so POSIX doesn't really come into play here.
True. BTW: also the *BSDs have 'df -h' with the same units, so there's some compatibility to consider.
And, "M" without suffix is a Mebibyte (short MiB, 2^20 = 1 048 576), while "MB" stands for Megabyte (10^6 = 1 000 000). Therefore, the use of K/M/G/T/P/E/Z/Y without the 'B' suffix are correct, no?
I don't find a reference for that on the wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
