So either df is wrong, I'm blind, or bc can't do take aways ;)

Anyone know why df is wildly inaccurate ?

It has to do with the reserved blocks:


% dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda3 | egrep 'Reserved block count|Block size'
dumpe2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Reserved block count:     935585
Block size:               4096

% df -B4096 /
Filesystem           4K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3             18125330   2651427  14538318  16% /

% bc
bc 1.06
