Just noticed by chance that rpmdrake displays a significantly different amount
of free diskspace from df.
/ has 147 MB free (according to df) and 282 MB (according to rpmdrake). Note
that my only partitions are / and /home (which has a lot of free space). Any
ideas?
Rpmdrake talks about statfs' f_bfree, which is the real available
diskspace for installing packages, where df most probably talks
about f_bavail, which is what's important for users.
If you're using an ext2 filesystem, you may change the reserved
blocks count without loosing data, using tune2fs.
