Hello, We were doing a routine check of one of our redhat 7.0 servers and noticed that it was getting low on disk space when it should have had plenty.
Example 1: [root@dhp0946 /]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 16G 13G 3.0G 80% / /dev/sda1 61M 6.3M 51M 11% /boot Example 2: [root@dhp0946 /]# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 16782640 12704088 3232732 80% / /dev/sda1 62193 6387 52595 11% /boot So according to df we have 13 GB of data on this disk, but du does _not_ agree. Out put of du (note du's own grand total at the bottom) [root@dhp0946 /]# du -shc * 22M backup 4.8M bin 6.3M boot .264M dev .004M duout 4.3M etc 282M home 0 htlog 40M lib 0 log .004M lost+found .012M mnt 235M mpbackup .016 mpsnapshot .036 nsr .004 opt .001M proc 15M root 5.7M sbin .008M tmp 604M usr 3900M var 0 wh 338M work 5.5G total I added it all up by hand and came out with 5458.449 MB. Can anyone explain this anomaly? Which one is correct, du or df ? Is there any other utility I can use to calculate free/taken space? And what is the cause of <which ever one is wrong> being wrong? TIA! ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
