Thank you for the report. But I think this is not a bug in df but is instead a misunderstanding of how it operates. Please see this FAQ entry: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/#df-Size-and-Used-and-Available-do-not-add-up Is that the issue you are seeing? In any case, df simply passes along the values reported by the kernel in the statfs call. Therefore any actual calculation problems will be root caused in the kernel and not in the df program. To see the values that the kernel is returning to df's statfs call please run the following command and report the contents of the file. $ strace -v -e trace=statfs -o /tmp/df.strace.out df /dev/sde1 Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
