Hi there Here is a sample output of "df": (Sorry for the messy display) Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdb7 3881800 2933840 750764 80% / /dev/hdb5 23268 1728 20339 8% /boot /dev/hda1 126480 553 125927 0% /mnt/boot /dev/hda9 1996144 16 1996128 0% /mnt/win98 /dev/hda10 6996275 2381356 4614919 34% /mnt/w2k_work /dev/hda11 2000060 632290 1367770 32% /mnt/w2k_writer /dev/hda12 2000060 1241204 758856 62% /mnt/w2k_misc /dev/hda13 9990656 8601048 1389608 86% /mnt/data /dev/hda14 4986424 1538160 3448264 31% /mnt/exchange /dev/hda8 1968588 4 1868584 0% /mnt/archiv /dev/hda15 2862052 2428124 288544 89% /mnt/backup /dev/hdb2 4136672 3494540 642132 84% /mnt/transfer My question: Why do the numbers in the columns "Available" and "Used" not sum up to the total listed under "1k-blocks"? For example on /dev/hda there is a difference of 100000 blocks. Thanks for spending your time, Peter. _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
