Dear Maintainer,
% man proc | grep -A 2 -n '/proc/partition'
988: /proc/partitions
989- Contains major and minor numbers of each partition as
well as number of
990- blocks and partition name.
There's no mention of how many bytes are in a block, and no description of how
block numbers are counted.
The counting method seems relevant since 'df' returns different numbers; numbers
which must have been counted using a different method:
% D=/proc/partitions
% cat $D | grep -w $D
8 37 58348048 sdc5
# show 'df /dev/sdc5' output, 1000 bytes per block
% df -B 1KB $D
Filesystem 1kB-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc5 58765693 47037772 9337988 84% /tmp
# Again, with 1024 byte blocks:
% df -B 1K $D
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc5 57388372 45935324 9119128 84% /tmp
Summary:
1024b 57388372
1000b 58765693
proc 58348048
Neither 'df' block size matches 'proc'.
HTH...
