conky format (GiB TiB) problem? [SOLVED]
Hello,
I am using the .conkyrc from Chris Titus (christitustech) and am appending it to my needs. I run into a fs_bar problem with one of my drives.
code:
${offset 30}${color2}EXTHD:${color} ${alignr}${offset -10}${fs_used /mnt/exthd} / ${fs_size /mnt/exthd}${alignr}${fs_bar}
end of code.
The output of fs_used = 33.0 GiB
The output of fs_size = 3.58 TiB
The output of fs_bar is about 1/3 of the length of the whole bar (33% used space) which is very wrong.
I suspect a format problem (GiB / TiB) but i am not sure how to commence...
Hoping for a tip!
Greetz: Patrick

Re: conky format (GiB TiB) problem? [SOLVED]
what happens if you use fs_bar_free instead? Would that disrupt your overall conky experience too much?
I suspect you're right and it is a scale problem between TiB and GiB. I also suspect that this is an upstream problem, so unless you're willing to communicate the problem to the conky devs directly, I doubt the arch devs can do much about it.
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

fs_bar takes parameters: "(height),(width) fs", you've not provided a filesystem, so I assume it's showing the root FS
Try
${fs_bar /mnt/exthd}Offline
