Dear Sir/Madam,

I have installed RedHat Liunx 6.1 and used "df" utility for reporting
filesystem 
disk space usage. However, the Use% seems reporting the figure greater
than it should be. For example:

$ df /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             16658592  15222192    590180  96%
/usr/local/squid/cache00
/dev/sdb1             17496684  16373092    234800  99%
/usr/local/squid/cache01


The use% for /dev/sda1 is:
15222192 / 16658592 = 91.4%

The use% for /dev/sdb1 is:
16373092 / 17496684 = 93.6%

But these figures are not consistent to the "df" output, can you please
advise whether this is a bug or I have done anything incorrect?

Many thanks in advance,
Hong Zhu
