On my Red Hat 7.3 box, df doesn't have a -B
option. df --version gives:
df (fileutils) 4.1

Have them do that with the --version option and
the --help output. What does it say?

I'm using a stock copy of GNU's fileutils on my
LFS system -- df -B MB is
not a valid option, and neither is just plain
'ol df -B. Mandrake or RedHat
must have patched them (like they _always_ seem
to do...).
