Hi list,
I've got a problem here that isn't making any sense to me. This morning
one of the leg messages reported that there wasn't any more space left on
/var. that's ok cause it wasn't any big deal to fix that. what I did have
a problem with is the difference free space that is being reported by two
different programs on the system.
df reports it this way:
[mdw1982@mdw1982 mdw1982]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 494M 156M 338M 32% /
/dev/hda8 7.3G 1.1G 6.2G 16% /home
/dev/hda1 1.7G 1.4G 297M 82% /mnt/win_c
/dev/hdc1 652M 161M 491M 25% /mnt/win_c2
/dev/hdc5 1.8G 92k 1.8G 0% /mnt/win_d
/dev/hda7 2.9G 2.1G 798M 73% /usr
/dev/hdc6 787M 757M 30M 96% /var <-- the critical reading
/proc/bus/usb 197M 197M 0 100% /proc/bus/usb
---------------------------------------------------------
...and du reports it this way:
[root@mdw1982 mdw1982]# du -h --max-depth=1 /
4.5M /bin
266k /dev
16M /etc
36M /lib
1.5G /mnt
0 /net
512 /opt
4.0M /tmp
469M /var <-- the critical reading
2.3G /usr
6.0M /boot
1.1G /home
0 /misc
1.0k /proc
6.7M /sbin
49M /root
512 /.automount
512 /.gnome_private
1.0k /.gnome
5.6G /
----------------------------------------------------
What really has me stuck is the different readings I'm getting on /var.
Can any shed a little light on this?
Xwc calculated /var and came up with essentially the same answer as du
did.
thanks,
Mark
