Hi,

This is work well on my laptop that running Fedora 9 with no LVM but on 
CentOS 5.2 with LVM it cann't calculate the LVM volume, below is output 
of my system :

[root at centos-svr ~]# df -kPl
Filesystem         1024-blocks      Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 274405432  18584656 241656808       8% /
/dev/sda2               101105     19096     76788      20% /boot
tmpfs                  1682508         0   1682508       0% /dev/shm

and with the command of Stephen :
[root at centos-svr ~]# df -Pkl | awk '/^\/dev\// { avail += $3/1024 } END 
{ printf("%d Mb used\n",avail)} '
18173 Mb used

So it seam to be bot calculated on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
I am just a newbie with Linux and stupid enough to not to know how to 
fix the command so just post it and hope you guys can improve the script ;)

Thanks for the tip.

Have fun.
regards,
