I haven't yet written a shell script to do this, but from the several
suggestions I received, it looks like there isn't a quick a simple way to do
this. The solution will only be to parse the response from the commands
showfdmn or df with awk and single out the part I need. However I wouldn't
bother using df because I haven't seen it to be very acurate and is most of
the time wrong in reporting a file system's used space, it never agrees with
du and not even with showfdmn.
So I will try using showfdmn.
