Makes no difference.
This has been answered so many times on this list that people may
not respond at all.  It should easily be found by searching the
archive and I think there is a FAQ on the FreeBSD web site about it.

So, have fun searching.

df -k vs. du -s

2009-08-13 Thread Don O'Neil
My /var partition is showing a different value for a df -k on the file
system vs a du -s on the file system:

df -k
Filesystem1K-blocks  Used Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 202603088954497440448%/
devfs 1 1 0   100%/dev
/dev/ad0s1e 2026030   964   1862984 0%/tmp
/dev/ad0s1d 8122126   1997988   547436827%/usr
/dev/ad0s1f 8122126   5301938   217041871%/var

du -s /var
993261  /var

Any ideas why I would see this? Where is the other 4+G? Do I have a bunch of
bad sectors in the file system or is it majorly fragmented? If so, how do I
find out what the problem is?

The other partitions match between the df and du... I'm running 6.1 if that
makes a difference.
