I don't see the problem you are trying to point out. Things look fine to me. echo 2355984/1024 | bc -l 2300.76562500000000000000 And so on. > Also, looking, for example, at the first output (data) > line of the former output: > > /dev/hda1 2355984 773656 1462648 35% / > > , we get the result of 35% usage for that partition. > But if we divide, the total number of blocks used by > the total number of blocks available we end up with: > > 773656/2355984 = 32.83% ~ 33% > > If instead we use the latter output, we end up with: > > 756000/2301000 = 32.86% ~ 33% > > Clearly neither one of them gives the 35% utilization > as shown in the output. df reports the space used and available. But those two will not normally add up to the number-of-blocks because the filesystem minfree value will take some of the available space. It appears that you have a 2% minfree value specified when you created your filesystem.
