Because the particular disk is full. >We have 4 GB of free space. The data returned by `df` or its underlying syscalls is only valid for the very moment the information was obtained. Also, other filesystems are not exact either. Consider sshfs, which has long shown 9999999 or something, because it did not have the information at all (nowadays it does, but anyway). Or ext2, which becomes full early on because of the 5% root reservation. Or for that matter, any extent-based filesystem returns ENOSPC somewhat prematurely because it still needs some workspace when actually comitting the data - this is visible in XFS for example. Extract a tarball, run df, run sync, run df. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
