I don't think so. /dev/sda5 (/var) = 1.8G total Used (from df) = 1.7G du reports /var = 88M (approx. 0.1G) Hence Used space not reported = 1.7G -0.1 G = 1.69G (but I rounded inaccurately down to 1.6G). is my maths not correct? cheers, adrian ___________________________________________ Dr Adrian Bolzan Systems Administrator The Australian Outback Travel Group Level 8, 420 St. Kilda Road Melbourne, Victoria 3004, AUSTRALIA Tel: +61 3 98677233 Fax: +61 3 98677244 Winner - 1999 Australian Export Awards Winner - 1999 Governor of Victoria Export Awards ===========================================
