Ugh. I wish I had read this a few minutes earlier. I just made the name change based on what I assumed was consensus. If someone feels the need to revert the change, go ahead. I prefer to just leave it now that I've already changed it, and then I'll add the new function as disk_total_space(). -- Jon Parise (jon@csh.rit.edu) .
