This should mention what the default unit of disk space is. Is is 512 bytes? 98.207.58.135 (talk) 13:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

More general command
The command does not always work because the '!' is interpreted as a shortcut to another command in some shells. I suggest replacing it with '^' which works more often. Neptilo (talk) 11:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Suspected author misspelling
One of the authors is listed as "Torbjorn Granlund" but I was wondering if his actual name is "Torbjörn Granlund" as the name seem like it could be the swedish name "Torbjörn". I believe the man page might spell his name this way because to avoid using non-ascii characters.
