Hi,
Has any one encountered the problem of disk space availability being
reported differently by commands "df" and "du"?. For example I have the
following:
used available
root_domain#root 131072 109796 21276 84% /
When I did a du of / I got the total used space as 68620. What does this
mean? Where is the balance of 41,000 blocks?.
Also when a big file is deleted the space is not available immediately
although with lsof I could check that the file was not opened by any
process. At one instance I could get back the space after unmounting and
running /sbin/bcheckrc and at the second instance the space came back
after some time. Does any one has experienced the same. I am running
3.2c.
Thanks for your help.
